Strapped

The film follows an ex-con who is trying to go straight but faces serious challenges when his girlfriend is arrested for dealing crack to an undercover officer. In a desperate move to help her, he makes a deal with a weapons cop to turn in local gun dealers. However, the situation quickly escalates with double-crossing and high-stakes game playing as the district attorney demands more than he is willing to provide.

Strapped features notable performances from Michael Biehn, Bokeem Woodbine, and Isaiah Washington among others. The runtime of 104 minutes ensures a compact but intense viewing experience. As a TV movie from the early '90s, it captures the aesthetics and themes of that era, making it an interesting piece for collectors of this genre and period.
