There's nothing more dangerous than an innocent man./No one is above the law.
Features: DVD
Contains two adventures on the wrong side of the law, with corruption at the New York City subway yards and a small town filled with cooked cops in THE YARDS and COPLAND.THE YARDS: After serving time in prison for taking the fall for a group of his friends, Leo Handler (Mark Wahlberg) just wants to get his life back on track. So he goes to the one place he thinks will be safe--home. There he takes a new job with his highly connected and influential Uncle Frank (James Caan), and is reunited with his longtime friend, Willie Guitierrez (Joaquin Phoenix) and Willie's girlfriend (Charlize Theron). But in the vast New York City subway yards, where his uncle now pulls the strings, safe is not how they do business. Unwittingly, he's drawn into a world of sabotage, high-stakes payoffs and even murder. And the secret he discovers will make him the target of the most ruthless family in the city...his own. Now, in the name of justice, he'll have to do everything in his power to take them down. COPLAND: Sylvester Stallone plays the sheriff of a town everyone calls Cop Land... A peaceful place populated by the big-city cops he's long admired. But when he uncovers a massive conspiracy among them, he is forced to make a choice: either protect his idols... or uphold the law! With Robert De Niro, Harvey Keitel and Ray Liotta heading up an incredible cast -- Fox-TV raves: Copland has "Powerhouse performances!"...
