‘Running Scared’ Movie Summary

Ray and Danny are the wild men of the Windy City’s police force. The pair’s unorthodox methods get results in a tough town until they come up against Julio Gonzales; a smooth-talking drug dealer who’s looking to become Chicago’s first Spanish Godfather. As the detectives try to nail Gonzales, they blow a delicate undercover operation. Their boss then sends the two on a forced vacation to Key West as punishment. It’s there that the the men discover the good life with warm weather and even warmer women. While the new locale makes their decision to retire easy, the men vow not to do so until they put Gonzales behind bars first.

It’s always a little jarring to hear an old episode, very different style than your new episodes. Guessing this was recorded in 2012?

This one might have even been in 2011, but it’s an old one. We have 9 or 10 more we will be re-releasing through 2020.
