Director: Scott Frank
Synopsis:
Formerly a detective with the NYPD, now a recovering alcoholic haunted by
regrets, Matt Scudder has a lot to make up for. When a series of kidnappings
targeting the city's worst drug criminals escalates to grisly murder, the
circuit's ruthless leader convinces Scudder to find the culprits and bring
them to bloody justice. Working as an unlicensed private detective, Matt
sees what the police don't see and treads where they most fear to. Operating
just outside the law to track down the monsters responsible, Scudder stops
just short of becoming one himself.
