Excellent Cadavers

A lawman and a reformed criminal join forces to see justice done, even at the expense of their lives, in this crime drama based on a true story. Chazz Palminteri plays Giovanni Falcone, a Sicilian magistrate who is determined to break the back of organized crime, which has held sway over his community for too long. With the help of Tommaso Buscetta (F. Murray Abraham), a former Mafia leader who has joined forces with the police, Falcone is able to prosecute hundreds of organized crime figures in the late '80s and early '90s, but his crusade is met with deadly reprisals from the mob.
