The under-rated Tom Sizemore landed a Golden Globe nomination for his performance in this compelling insight into life within the Federal Witness Protection Programme. Forced to abjure his wealth and power, Sizemore agrees to accept a new identity after his associates turn against him. However, the combined pressures of enduring high-security confinement and having to start again in a strange town soon begin to undermine his marriage to Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio. With Shawn Hatosy and Skye McCole Bartusiak showing well as the couple's kids and Forest Whitaker lending unfussy support as their FBI minder, this is both tense and intense.
