White Sands

Aw man! I gotta admit I don't have a degree in the "Understanding Complex Storylines" field. I had to watch this one like a dozen times and still couldn't quite piece everything together. The only consolation was that Mickey was Gorman Lennox -- a character that seems to be standing on the thin line between good and bad. Juz the kind of character I absolutely love watching Mickey portray.

White Sands has a great soundtrack album. Infact, I always hear some of the tracks being used as background music in tv series.

Other Summaries and Reviews:

"Jackhammer action! Ferocious. Compelling." -- Susan Granger, AMERICAN MOVIE CLASSICS

Red-hot stars ignite the white-hot thriller White Sands, a volatile mix of action and suspense directed by Roger Donaldson (No Way Out) and filmed in and around New Mexico's glistening White Sands National Park.

Willem Dafoe plays Sheriff Ray Dolezal, a small-town lawman in big-time trouble. To untangle a mystery, he takes on the identity of a murdered FBI agent and becomes the man on the inside of an international crime ring. Now comes the hard part: not blowing his cover. Dolezal's precarious new life bulldozes him into the snare of a sinister weapons runner (Mickey Rourke)... into the web of an FBI sting operative (Samuel L. Jackson)... and into the bed of an attractive woman of means (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio).

Dolezal is up to his neck in danger, all in a dead man's name. But he's a never-say-die kind of guy. And the swirling twists of White Sands make for "grade-A escapist entertainment" (Jeff Craig, Sixty-Second Preview).
