Witness Protection ★★★ 1999

He and his family are placed in the witness protection program under the eye of a U.S. marshal (Whitaker) but living as a regular mook proves difficult. Bobby's wife (Mastrantonio) is bitter, his kids are angry and confused, and there are no easy endings. Based on a 1996 New York Times Magazine article by Robert Sabbag. 105m/C VHS, DVD . Tom Sizemore, Forest Whitaker, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Shawn Hatosy, Richard Portnow; D: Richard Pearce; W: Daniel Therriault; C: Fred Murphy; M: Cliff Eidelman. CABLE
