the “naked city” and pulses to the
rhythms of an eclectic East Coast
soundtrack.
There are more than “eight mil
lion stories” in today’s naked city
--stories of its residents, commut
ers, tourists -- its criminals and
its victims. Sergeant Daniel
Muldoon (Scott Glenn) of the
NYPD’s Anti-Crime Unit and his
Officer Jimmy Halloran
(Courtney B. Vance) cruise the
naked city in their undercover
yellow cab, taming the mean
streets, meting out justice and
every now and then, grabbing a
hot dog off a Sabrett’s truck.
“Justice With A Bullet” tells the
story of Merri Coffman (Robin
Tunney) and Sarah Tubbs
(Kathryn Erbe), tourists from
Ohio who first seek Muldoon and
Halloran’s help and then become
murder suspects when their all
expense-paid vacation of their
dreams turns into a nightmare.
Robbed and abandoned by a limo
driver, mugged by punks, rescued
by dashing Europeans who drug
them and then try to rape one of
them, Merri and Sarah shoot their
way out of the naked city -- a little

years' time is a lot upon which to
catch up. Halloran’s dying to tell
Chaz all about being a cop. And
Chaz, unbeknownst to Halloran,
has become a professional “hit
