Cornell and Harvard have a rich history of rivalry, even ugliness--longtime Crimson supporters will recall when Big Red netminder Brian Hayward (remembered primarily today as Patrick Roy's ex-backup in Montreal) got beaded in the head but an unopened can of Budweiser in old Watson Rink. The competition has perhaps slackened in recent years, the Crimson not having lost at home in the series since 1985, but the intensity of the rivalry is still there...
...this one is about Jack (Gary Oldman), a rogue cop with a nice wife (Annabella Sciorra), an eager mistress (Juliette Lewis) and a profitable sideline in helping the Mafia locate apostates who think they've found safety in the witness- protection program.

I love S&R. They march to the beat of a different drum machine...
