Everything about Rush 1991 Film totally explained

Rush is a crime drama film, based on a novel written by Kim Wozencraft. An experienced narcotics detective (played by Jason Patric) and his inexperienced partner (Jennifer Jason Leigh) go after an elusive drug dealer (played by Gregg Allman). They become drug addicted themselves and, failing to get the evidence they need, are forced to use falsified evidence. It was released in 1991 (see 1991 in film).

Tagline

  • There's a fine line between loving your job and living it...a VERY fine line.

Plot

Seasoned undercover narcotics police officer Jim Raynor (Patric) must choose a new partner for his next assignment. He chooses the "wet-behind-the-ears" Kristen Cates (Jennifer Jason Leigh). Together they're looking to bring down the so-far untouchable Gaines (Gregg Allman).
   As they get deeper and deeper undercover, they become addicted to the same speed they're trying to keep off the street. They also fall in love, further complicating their assignment. Lacking real evidence, they're forced to create false evidence in order to get a conviction. Raynor is murdered by an unseen hitman; then a crisis of conscience forces Kristen to perjure herself, and Gaines is let off...only to be slain in his car by an unseen assassin.

Soundtrack

Eric Clapton's "Tears in Heaven" (which won three Grammy Awards) is featured in the film. Clapton wrote the entire film's soundtrack, which is entirely instrumental, except for "Tears in Heaven", Jimi Hendrix "All Along the Watchtower", Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free Bird", "Help Me Up", Buddy Guy's "Don't Know Which Way to Go", Freddy Fender's "Before the Next Teardrop Falls, Robin Trower's "Bridge of Sighs", and The Ohio Players' "Love Rollercoaster".
