    Quote:
    Modern-day Texas Ranger Jack Benteen (Nick Nolte) was once the best friend of local drug kingpin Cash Bailey (Powers Boothe). At present, however, the only element linking them together is Jack’s lover Sarita (Maria Conchita Alonso), Cash’s former mistress. When Sarita tires of Jack’s Spartan lifestyle, she returns to Cash as a voluntary hostage to make certain that Jack keeps his hands off Cash’s operation.

Paul Hackett (Michael Ironside, who isn’t all he seems to be).Read More »
