Join us in this exciting installment of our series on police movies and crime fiction, as we dive deep into both the 1990 book and the 1991 film 'Rush'. With us is the remarkable Frank Scalise—crime fiction author, 20-year police veteran, and expert on all things gritty and nuanced. We explore why Frank was captivated by this story, the phenomenal acting, and the realistic sense of place. Learn how the movie delves into the complexities of deep undercover police work, the moral ambiguities, and the tragic endgame for the characters. We also touch on broader issues like the war on drugs and its impacts. All this and more in an episode filled with reflections, critiques, and thoughtful conversation! 00:30 Frank's Attraction to 'Rush' 00:45 The Acting and Characters 02:10 Plot and Setting of 'Rush' 05:33 Character Analysis 32:49 Product Placement in Films 37:26 The Slippery Slope of Corruption 40:25 The Fallout of Corruption 43:02 The Greater Good Dilemma 58:33 A Gutsy Ending 01:07:09 Real-Life Inspirations and Artistic Liberties
