Hey, Toronto! The ScreenAnarchy-curated Kurt Russell retrospective
Russellmania: The Legend Of Kurt Russell continues Saturday with a screening of
Chinatown scribe Robert Towne's directorial effort
Tequila Sunrise!
After breaking into the mainstream with Overboard Russell
became a sought-after commodity for A-list projects, and his growing
star power was proven when he was cast alongside Mel Gibson and Michelle
Pfeiffer in this intricate neo-noir thriller. Russell plays Nick
Frescia, a slick L.A. cop whose oldest and best bud Dale "Mac" McKussic
(Mel Gibson) just happens to be a big-time drug dealer attempting to go
straight. The two pals are set on a collision course when one of Mac's
old confederates puts pressure on him to broker a major narcotics
shipment, and things get even more complicated when both men become
entranced by a beautiful restaurateur (Pfeiffer). Written and directed
by Chinatown scripter Robert Towne, the sexy and stylish Tequila Sunrise allowed Russell to show that he could go toe-to-toe with the biggest stars of the day.
