Director Wim Wenders splices the seemingly unrelated stories of an action flick producer (Bill Pullman) who retreats from the violence he's exploited in his films when it hits home, and a surveillance whiz (Gabriel Byrne) involved in a secret government plan to end street crime. An unsettling meditation on conscience, conspiracy, brutality and voyeurism, this cerebral thriller also stars Andie MacDowell as Pullman's neglected wife.
