Liberty Stands Still – DVD

Liberty Wallace (Linda Fiorentino), heiress and co-president of America's largest gun manufacturer is on the way to meet her lover at a theater. While passing through a public park, a series of events finds her chained to a hotdog car, the long-range laser sight of a gun aimed at her chest. The owner of the gun (Wesley Snipes) calls her via cell phone to explain his agenda and let her know that there is bomb in the hot dog cart that will detonate when her cell phone runs out. So begins a game of cat-and-mouse in which serious questions are raised concerning the issue of gun control. Director Kari Skogland's audacious thriller combines action scenes with tense, intelligent dialogue, providing an intriguing change-of-pace for star Snipes.
