Cast: Denis Leary, Joe Mantegna, Andrew Dice Clay, Annabella Sciorra, Cassidy Rae, William Ragsdale, Brian Keith, Farrah Forke, Lois Foraker, Allan Rich
This edited version of a Showtime series (that satirized the deadly sins) presents skits on three of the sins; "Greed," "Anger," and "Lust;" with mixed results. "Greed" is the most effective as Frank (Joe Mantegna), a TV producer of true-life crime stories, tries to get a leg up on the competition.

This movie really captures the more naive era when people still believed what they saw on their television sets.

A scandal results, and Serpico testifies in court–all of which results in Serpico becoming the enemy of his fellow officers and the criminal world, as well.
