Double Whammy


STEREO / CCAP WIDESCREEN OAR HDTV
Wry comedy from writer/director Tom DiCillo ("Living in Oblivion") stars Denis Leary as Ray, a widowed New York cop on disability leave since his botched handling of a fast food restaurant hold-up led to a bad back and bad PR. As Ray begins to shed his "loser" self-image with help from a pretty chiropractor (Elizabeth Hurley), some residents of his apartment building - including the vengeful, spoiled daughter of his super (Luis Guzman) and a pair of devious screenwriters - hatch dangerous schemes. Steve Buscemi and Donald Faison costar.
