 Summary
Jack Grimaldi leads more than a double life: He's a veteran copy, a two-timing husband and a corrupt mob informant.
But when the Feds enlist him to protect Russian gangster Mona Demarkov at the same time that the Mafia orders him to kill her, Jack's world of greed and lust begins to crack.
Complicating this already dangerous situation is Mona herself, a seductive schemer who entangles Jack in a deadly, depraved plan of her own!
Mona Demarkov - Lena Olin
Mona is a sexy Russian hit-woman who has been working for Don Falcone, until she is arrested for one hit involving the death of several police and Federal agents.
She agrees to testify against the Don in exchange for a lighter sentence, and earns herself a contract on her own life.
She seduces Jack Grimaldi into helping her fake her death in order to get Falcone off her back long enough for her to flee the country.
What follows is a series of double-crosses leading to the loss of an arm, the Don's death and an untimely end for Mona as well.
Lena was nominated for "Best Action Sequence" at the 1994 MTV Movie Awards - specifically for the scene where she is handcuffed in the back of Jack Grimaldi's car.
