City Of Industry (Widescreen) In the twisted maze of a city teeming with corruption, a seasoned "professional" is going to teach a traitorous rookie a simple lesson: There's nothing more lethal than a man with nothing left to lose. Academy Award nominee Harvey Keitel and co-stars Stephen Dorff and Oscar winner Timothy Hutton turn up the heat in this "four-star, edge-of-your-seat crime and revenge story" (Toronto Sun) that strips the mask off L.A.'s shrouded underworld and turns it inside out. In the "business" of armed robbery, Roy Egan (Keitel) is a master who's ready to retire. However, when his brother Lee (Hutton) proposes one last job -- a slam-dunk, three-million-dollar diamond heist with his two friends (Dorff and Wade Dominguez) -- Roy can't resist coming out of retirement to cash in on a sure thing. But when one of the "friends" gets greedy and pulls a deadly double-cross, the stage is set for a pulse-pounding game of cat and mouse as Roy relentlessly tracks him down, hell-bent on revenge.
