What happens

Cat Chaser is a 1989 American heist film directed by Abel Ferrara and starring Peter Weller and Kelly McGillis. The screenplay by Elmore Leonard and James Borrelli is based on Leonard's 1982 novel. It follows a veteran of the Dominican Republic intervention who becomes involved with the wife of a corrupt Dominican general, and sets out to steal $2 million from him. The score was composed by jazz fusion musician Chick Corea. The film was originally planned for a theatrical release, but due to Vestron Pictures' financial troubles it was released direct-to-video in the United States. Ferrara and Weller expressed disappointment with the final film, claiming it was re-edited against their wishes. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
