Miami Blues. Good, good movie:Alec Bladwin = Bad Guy
Jennifer Jason Leigh = Innocent Prostitute Beauty
Fred Ward = Grizzled cop.
Synopsis (from AllMovie.com, edited so as to not give away the entire story):
Based on the late Charles Willeford's series of hard-boiled crime novels featuring Miami cop Hoke Moseley, the Jonathan Demme-produced Miami Blues opens with the prison release of Frederick Frenger Jr. (Alec Baldwin), a deranged killer who has barely de-boarded his plane before he's killed . .. . . in the airport. Checking into his hotel, Frenger meets up with Pepper (Jennifer Jason Leigh), a young prostitute with dreams of domestic life; the two become romantically involved. Meanwhile, the . . . . case is given to Moseley (Fred Ward), a grizzled vet who quickly hunts down Frenger only to have the killer beat him senseless and steal his badge. With Moseley incapacitated, Frenger is free to continue his crime spree . . . . . . .
Anyways, this is a great movie with fantastic characters.
