The two of them haven't seen each other in years - though Sean's "long arm of the law" might have kept Tom out of jail more than one time - but now that Sean's wife Emily (Tiprin Mandalay) has died under mysterious circumstances and she just happens to be Tom's sister, and his other sister Kate (Suzanne Willard) tries to move heaven and earth to prove that Sean has actually murdered her, Tom and Sean meet again at the wake ... and Sean shows sympathy for his "loser" friend and hooks him up with a few friends of his - all cops - to raid a strip joint. Well, not everything goes as planned, and Tom gets caught and arrested. But while Tom's partners in the raid are all about to lose their last nerve, Sean is sure Tom won't spill the beans - and that's something, since Sean is always one quick on the trigger when it comes to eliminating witnesses ... and he's right, Tom doesn't talk but serves his sentence. But he comes out with some pent up rage, while at the same time Kate has finally made police to re-open the case of the death of Emily - and Sean, who has indeed drowned Emily, is haunted by the spirits of his past - all of which can only lead to utter tragedy ...<p> <p>Though stories about rogue cops and criminals with a heart of gold are a dime a dozen, <b>The Wolves of Savin Hill</b> manages to come across as a highly original piece of genre film, thanks of course to its highly original story and colourful characters who populate it, but also to the very unique way it's told, where past and present seem to exist simultanously at times, the line between fantasy and reality is blurry at times, and some scenes are intentionally left open to interpretation. And add to that a well paced direction that finds a good balance between action and more narrative scenes, and a very decent cast, and you're in for a pretty good movie! <p>  </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="592" valign="top">  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> currentyear = "2015"; </SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="../scripts/endcredits.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> dosworsdonn(); </SCRIPT> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body>
