Everyone wants his or her 15 minutes of fame -- even criminals on a rampage. In this stinging indictment of the media age, Robert De Niro plays Eddie Fleming, a legendary Manhattan detective who teams with a naïve arson investigator (Edward Burns) to nab two Eastern European crooks. The wrinkle: The perps videotape their crime spree and offer the tapes to the highest bidder!
