  I liked this film when it came out in '91, and it holds up. Jason Patric and Jennifer Jason Leigh star in this tale of two undercover cops(narcotics agents) who get caught up in the lifestyle as they are in pursuit of a shady bar owner who may very well be the biggest drug pusher in the area, as well as other dealers with the help of a friend and user. The performances by Patric and Leigh are brilliant in this dim film based on true events of two narcotics agents in 1974 rural Texas who literally take their work home with them which is clearly nothing but trouble in many ways. Eric Clapton's bluesy score adds to the time and tone of the film as well.

  [font=Century Gothic]"Rush" takes place in 1975. Vice cop, Jim Raynor(Jason Patric), recruits rookie policewoman, Kristen Cates(Jennifer Jason Leigh, great as always), to go undercover with him to buy drugs to be used in evidence against drug dealers in Katterly, Texas. Needless to say, they get in over their heads as the line is crossed...[/font] [font=Century Gothic][/font] [font=Century Gothic]"Rush" is a quietly suspenseful and completely believable film that casts a very skeptical eye on the war on drugs. Max Perlich nearly steals the movie playing a minor drug dealer with a penchant for grand theft auto. And Gregg Allman has a very commanding presence.[/font]

  A truly excellent, authentic, engrossing, and relentlessly dark depiction of drugs and the criminal justice system. There are no true "good guys" to be found, and the bad guys are found on both sides, moral ambiguity is rampant. The film does a fantastic job of showing how… More
  A truly excellent, authentic, engrossing, and relentlessly dark depiction of drugs and the criminal justice system. There are no true "good guys" to be found, and the bad guys are found on both sides, moral ambiguity is rampant. The film does a fantastic job of showing how fine the line often is, and how, in the name of moral relativity, it's often crossed. The film captures a fantastic tone throughout, and is powerfully acted by both Jason Patric and Jennifer Jason Leigh, who have a gripping chemistry together. The script is intelligent, being based on a semi-autobiographical novel, and offers poignant insight. One of the best "in too deep" films out there. 4.5/5 Stars

  Critically insane story of an Texas undercover narcotics police sergeant Jim Raynor (Jason Patric) that recruits a fresh young police rookie Kristen Cates (Jennifer Jason Leigh) to infiltrate and take down a suspected drug dealing crime boss (Gregg Allman). Between getting strung out and collecting evidence against the crime boss...the pressure escalates on the pair to manufacture fictitious evidence to get this crime boss off the streets. As the pressure increases the assistance of their superior (Sam Elliot) and his higher ups...becomes more evident that manufacturing police evidence against a suspect, is against police protocol...the heat gets turned up on whether the crime boss will go behind bars but what will be the cost of the risky effort? This fairly slow moving drama will rock you to the edge of your seat and suspense you with with a rolling sound track...see it!

  RUSH is a film about two undercover narcotics investigators (Jason Patric and Jennifer Jason Leigh) who cross the line and becomes enmeshed in the dangerous but intoxicating underbelly of the drug world while trying to bring a drug dealer to justice. As their relationship intensifies and their drug use turns to abuse, the fine line between the good guys and the bad guys becomes as blurry as their drug-induced vision. <a href="http://tinypic.com?ref=5wxsuf" target="_blank"><img src="http://i52.tinypic.com/5wxsuf.jpg" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic"></a> The action here doesn't involve guns or chases but rather a subtle ride through the desperation and paranoia of drug addiction; It was gritty and realistic and Patric and Leigh make for a very intense duo with Patric delivering a compelling performance as a dark, hardened cop who has obviously stayed undercover far too long. <a href="http://tinypic.com?ref=2zfprgx" target="_blank"><img src="http://i53.tinypic.com/2zfprgx.jpg" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic"></a> Gregg Allman did an amazing job, too, as the elusive Gaines who doesn't really say a lot yet gives a very convincing portrayal of a menacing local crime kingpin and the little twist at the end was a nice way to finish. <a href="http://tinypic.com?ref=eg7pjp" target="_blank"><img src="http://i55.tinypic.com/eg7pjp.jpg" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic"></a>

  What "Rush" ultimately suffers from is a weak script with thinly drawn characters and a poor ending. Both Jennifer Jason Leigh and Jason Patric are good, but only as good as the script allows for them to be. Other than this flaw, the film is mostly entertaining and enjoyable, and there are many cleverly choreographed sequences. Plus, the cinematography holds up quite nicely.
