Andy Garcia is the desperate father of a young son who needs a medical donor. The only one who matches is an incarcerated killer played by...MICHAEL KEATON??!?! I can only see this guy as FUNNY! I mean, look at Multiplicity (hilarious), Gung Ho (so funny), Night Shift (talks 'Fonzie' into providing hookers w/medical insurance!) & others! Even tho this film really belongs to Keaton, to see him as a killer is just odd to me. Actually, Andy's part could have been played by just about anybody. He only revels when he can speak or act on something to do w/his heritage. (NOT including his VERY believable turn playing Italian in Godfather III!! EXCELLENT!!) Sorry, Andy! But we still love ya!
