Had to spend some time so I did that by watching the Ridley Scott's old movie on TV. And it was a good one! Nicely directed, with noir-ish "dark" atmosphere and quite Blade Runner-ish soundtrack (symphonic sounds during the sad love scenes)... Not a ... (read more)

Great cast! Must see movie if you gave not yet. I loved the classical music too. Might be Berenger's best movie.

Ridley Scott's movie about a detective (Berenger) assigned to protect a murder witness (Rogers) who is also part of New York's social elite. Worlds collide when romance blooms. Gorgeous opening shot of NYC at night with canyons of light.
