Epicenter Movie Review Summary

Hidden in his watch was a smoke device which he sets off in the bathroom causing a security alert. Once all the security clears the building he cuts the security camera feed to his office and replaces it with a shot that shows his office is empty when it really isn't. Nick works fervently to cut open the computer and pull out the chip.

When he does, he goes to this strip club that is run by the Russian mafia and tries to sell the chip for fifteen million dollars. Working deep undercover is FBI agent Amanda Foster (Traci Lords) and when the deal goes down she follows Nick around the corner to arrest him. But the Russian mobsters are angry because they had already transferred the fifteen million dollars to the Swiss account Nick had set up but they didn't get the chip from him. They hear Amanda attemtping to arrest Nick over the phone and they come after them.

This leads to an exciting chase through the streets of San Francisco culminating in a big car crash. But Amanda and Nick survive and as Nick tries to get away from Amanda he jumps onto a trolly car. Amanda catches up and handcuffs Nick to a pole but the mobsters are still chasing them.

Eventually the mobsters kill the car conductor in their efforts to get both Nick and Amanda and the car starts to pick up speed, barrelling out of control. Amanda puts on the breaks allowing the mobsters to manuever their car in front of the trolly but the mobsters get smashed. Finally, at the bottom of the hill the trolly and smashed cars stop and the mobsters survive but encounter the police.

Nick is captured by the FBI. For all her effort Amanda is told that she is being bumped off the case and that Nick is being sent to a safe house in L.A., a decision from Agent Moore (Jeff Fahey). Amanda manages to convince her bosses that she will escort Nick to the safe house and when she goes home to pack she gets a call from her ex-husband. She finds out that her daughter Robyn (Katie Stuart) has gone to L.A. because she is mad at her for never being around.

Amanda convinces Robyn that things will be different and she asks if they can meet and talk about it. Robyn agrees and tells Amanda to meet her at the mall. Before flying Nick to L.A. she shows him that she had indeed changed the password to his bank account. Nick sees that she isnt lying. Amanda tries to coax him into giving up the chip for the the password. Nick doesnt back down. When they get to L.A. the planned meeting place gets changed and Amanda meets up with Moore in a restaurant. This is a set up as Moore is dirty and the mobsters are there too. There is a big shoot out and in the middle of all this there is an earthquake. During the mayhem, Amanda and Nick manage to escape from Moore and the mobsters but now she must find her daughter at the mall. This leads to the big showdown where Amanda finds her daughter, Nick and her fight off Moore and the mobsters, and we get the happy ending.
