Unfortunately for Eddie his friend Dillon (Peter Boyle) is a step ahead of him in dealing with the law and robs Eddie of his ultimate bargaining trip and way out of the life which has ground him down...
A tough and very believable crime drama set in Boston. This has to be one of Mitchem's best roles, he looks suitably worn down after a life of crime and playing both sides. The film goes in some unexpected directions but Eddie's demise has a crushing inevitability about it.
