Emilio Estevez, Cuba Gooding Jr., Stephen Dorff, and Jeremy Piven are headed to a boxing event night in Chicago, but escaping from a traffic jam leads them through the bad part of the city. The part where gangsters like Denis Leary are killing people. After a whole ordeal, Denis does in fact kill someone, but our four heroes happen to witness said act, which puts them on the run from the gangsters out to silence them.

It's a pretty solid movie, asking its viewers how they would react in these situations. What would you do if you were being hunted, and police are nowhere to be found? Would you keep your cool, or lose your shit? Our boys just can't catch a break!



An amusing side point... Cuba Gooding Jr. has to cross between two tall buildings on a ladder between them. In Scream 6, there is a similar scene in which the group needs to cross between two buildings. Cuba's son Mason Gooding almost went through that same ordeal, but he was in another room.

It's funny how much Stephen Dorff evolved in the 6 years between 1987's The Gate and 1993's Judgment Night. He changed a lot.

Denis Leary plays a good asshole. He must be one in real life. What a cool guy.
