Wow! Such a good movie.
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Glitz is a rather hard-to-find, but low-key made-for-TV thriller, and a nice surprise. Despite speedy introduction of events, the story flows without much hallaboo of action. Easy-going Jimmy Smits plays a surprisingly more orthodox cop (than is typical of these movies) investigating a young woman's death following a plunge from a balcony window, an investigation which leads him to an old nemesis (John Deihl as a sadistic creep), among others in Cuba and Atlantic City's criminal underground. In the end, it becomes a test of who is going to get to other first. Well worth a try if your in the mood for a fluid cop drama.
This is an interesting above average made-for-TV crime drama about a Miami cop(Jimmy Smits)who lets his career and life get entangled with homicide, mobsters, a singer(Markie Post)and a sleazy ex-con(John Diehl). This should broaden Smits' fan base and for Post, she needs no help in using the best of her talents. Also appearing are Madison Mason and Robin Strasser.
