Stick
It's his last chance. And he's going to fight for it.
Directed by Burt Reynolds
Produced by Universal Pictures
A crime-action thriller about a reformed ex-con trying to build a new life while hunted by mobsters, anchored by a tentative romance and the constant threat of violent retribution.
After getting out of jail, car thief Ernest "Stick" Stickley witnesses the murder of his friend Rainy during a drug deal. To avoid getting killed by the same people, who work for mobster Chucky, Stick gets a job as a chauffeur for millionaire Barry Braham and lies low. As he gets used to his new routine, Stick woos Barry's financial consultant, Kyle McClaren, but must fight back when Chucky's men come after him.
