Details

Movie Description Sidney Lumet directs Sharon Stone in this lively character study of a woman on her own with the odds stacked against her. Stone plays Gloria, a loud-mouthed gangster's moll who is working on starting a new life when a mob hit leaves her suddenly responsible for an orphaned six-year-old. This dramatic, emotionally heavy film is a remake of an earlier version starring Gina Rowlands (1980), and uses the same screenplay by John Cassavetes.
