Synopsis

Director Wim Wenders splices the seemingly unrelated stories of an action flick producer (Bill Pullman) who retreats from the violence he's exploited in his films when it hits home, and a surveillance whiz (Gabriel Byrne) involved in a secret government plan to end street crime. An unsettling meditation on conscience, conspiracy, brutality and voyeurism, this cerebral thriller also stars Andie MacDowell as Pullman's neglected wife.
