JACK REED: DEATH AND VENGEANCE
Three-time Emmy nominee Brian Dennehy ("To Catch a Killer," "The Burden of
Proof," "Murder in the Heartland") and Tony, Emmy and Golden Globe nominee
Charles Dutton ("The Piano Lesson") reprise their roles in this fifth movie from the
highly-rated franchise about real-life Chicago cop Jack Reed, a tough and honest
detective who searches for the truth in every case, even if it means uncovering the
dirty secrets of his beloved city. In this gritty adventure, Reed (Dennehy) is dispatched
to the scene of a grisly triple murder in a poor community of Russian immigrants. At
closer investigation, Reed learns that several immigrants have disappeared without a
trace, and the community is being terrorized by a gang of youths who model
themselves after the KGB. Meanwhile, Silvera (Dutton) wrestles with doing the right
thing about a vehicular homicide committed by the son of a prominent politician, a
man who was once Silvera's close friend. Joe Morton ("Executive Decision") and
Susan Ruttan ("L.A. Law") guest star. Dennehy directed from a teleplay he wrote with
Bill Phillips ("Shadow of a Doubt"). Dennehy, Peter Locke ("Jack Reed: A Search for
Justice"), Donald Kushner, ("Jack Reed: A Search for Justice") and Patricia Clifford
("Jack Reed: A Search for Justice") are the executive producers for Patricia Clifford
Productions in association with Kushner-Locke Productions.
