Atlantic City. Ricky Santoro is a cool corrupt cop attending the heavy weight boxing championship in a local casino arena. Just before the beginning of the fight, he meets Kevin Dunne, an old army friend, who's in charge of the security of the Secretary of Defense who's present in the public. The politician is shot during the fight and Kevin kills the murderer, a palestinian terrorist. After having checked the videos of the surveillance cameras, Santoro is convinced that the killer was not alone and that there was a conspiracy at work that peculiar evening.

Not the best DePalma but still interesting. Great cinematography with a 20 minutes long initial non-stop travelling.
