Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

merklekranz Out of nowhere comes "Under Oath", with a clever script, fine acting, and believability. This is DVD gold for those seeking an unknown movie to "wow" your friends. The fast moving story has plenty of action, twists and turns, and well developed characters. The low budget never gets in the way, and the camera work is totally acceptable. My only objection, and is not a big deal, is that several of the stunt scenes are marginal at best (can you really miss that many times with an automatic weapon?). For all the times you took a chance on an unknown noir, and were disappointed, "Under Oath" should regain your faith, and encourage your quest for those hidden gems. Highly recommended. - MERK

TytianaCSReborn I saw this movie last year on cable and being an Eddie Velez fan for many years (18 yrs. and growing!) and recently, a Jack Scalia fan from his 'All My Children' run and a Robert Davi flick, I thought that the movie deserved much more publicity and a much wider audience!It had to of been the best I've seen Mr. Velez do as far as acting goes since his scenes on the UPN defunct show, 'LiveShot' as 'Ricardo Sandavol'. He was very good on 'LiveShot' that was yanked too early before anyone had the chance to really actually catch on. And his work here was much more better!His conflict was original and absolutely believable and I pray that one day soon that someone will discover or should I say 'rediscover' the find in Eddie Velez that his fans see.Sharon R.

rm91945 I don't believe that this movie got a wide release or a lot of publicity. It's the kind of film that usually finds it's audience on video. That said, I enjoyed this movie, a lot. It had everything you'd want from a simple little cop thriller, hot guys, intriguing plot with several twists and lots of gun play.The story revolves around two cops, played by Jack Scalia and Eddie Valez, who are less than thrilled that their promised raise has been nixed by city hall. Grousing about how the bad guys always have cash and they never do, they decide to get in on their action. They plot to sell some guns they've recovered in a bust by stealing them from the police property room and doing a deal with a local gun runner.What they don't know is the gun runner is really an ATF officer and when they discover this, they take off, with the officer as their hostage. Things go from bad to worse when, while struggling over a handgun, the ATF officer is killed. But things start to look up for the partners when their captain assigns them to the case! They decide to make all the evidence against them disappear, but as they try to cover their tracks, other ATF officers, bent on revenge, tighten the noose around their necks.The acting in this was great, not one actor did a bad job, even the Huggy Bear want-to-be was good. Scalia was at the top of his game as the tougher of the two cops while Valez elicits sympathy from the audience in his guilt ridden actions. It was interesting to see Richard Lynch play a good guy as he RARELY gets that opportunity. He was very convincing as Saltarelli, the boss of the ATF cops. Nice to know he can play a good guy as well as he can play his bad guy psycho roles.Won't spoil the ending for you but it's one of the best!

shark-101 Every once in a while you rent something you've never heard of with the off chance that you'll discover an unheralded masterpiece. This one comes awfully close. This tight thriller concerns two cops who decide to get their hands dirty and profit on one of their drug busts. When the dealer is accidently killed and turns out to be an undercover DEA agent, the cops are assigned to the case. They must bury the trail leading to them as they create new evidence to pin the crime elsewhere. This movie sucks you in. Great performances by James Russo, Eddie Velez and Jack Scalia.
