Cohen and Tate
A suspenseful high tension thriller starring Roy Scheider, and Adam Baldwin about a boy that's been kidnapped by two mismatched hitmen. The boy tries to put them at each other's throats while being driven to their employers, possibly to be killed. Cohen, an older no nonsense, straight laced, professional becomes increasingly irritated with his partner Tate, a young, brutish, hot tempered, psychopathic killer. When their prisoner uses unnatural guile and resourcefulness to play them off against each other the movie becomes filled with edgy, suffocating tension. Written and directed by Eric Red, who also brought us Near Dark and The Hitcher.
