A harrowing psychological thriller from a widely acclaimed filmmaker, Daylight pits a couple lost in America against a conniving gang of kidnappers, in a personal re-imagining of the genre film. Despite its familiar genre elements, Daylight is different ? a powerful, shocking piece of vigorous cinema, which fuses eroticism and tenderness with the harrowing weight of pregnancy and kidnapping. On their way to a wedding, Danny and Irene pick up a hitchhiker ? throwing the film in the direction of the conventional rural kidnapper thriller. But Daylight emerges as much, much more than just another exploitation picture. The kidnappers enact a bizarre, terrifying ritual of politeness, endowing such scenes as the passing of a bread knife with a threat of ferocious violence ? but also trust. Vulnerable and dangerous, a captive and a seductress, Irene struggles to survive, bringing the audience with her through to the shattering conclusion.

Best friends Harry and Moe are go-getters inside a Newark mob outfit. They go get the boss's drycleaning. They go get his car. Now they have a new task: go get each other. The boss has secretly hired each pal to whack the other. Brian De Palma, whose Scarface and Carlito's Way are mobster-movie classics, finds the genre's funny bone in a comedy 'filled with ideas and gags and great characters. It never runs dry' (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times). Dan Hedaya and Harvey Keitel are among the ensemble's portrayers of kingpins and palookas. And Danny DeVito and Joe Piscopo play the pals whose friendship might survive the mob - if they don't kill each other first.
