For his debut feature film, Iranian-American filmmaker Vahe Babaian wrote and directed this drama about the cultural struggles faced by a young man living in California. Mic Tomasi stars as Michael, an Armenian-American man who not only must face his own inner conflicts but the ones with those around him. His mother has recently passed away, leaving his father, Leon (Greg Satamian), to rely on Michael for certain things despite Leon's not wanting to be a burden on his son. Meanwhile, Michael's fiancée, Anna (Sophie Shahinian), is constantly pointing out the facets of his personality that lack maturity, and his friend Mato (Ioannis Bogris) is considering taking dangerous and illegal measures to bring his brother to the United States. After Freedom premiered at the 2002 Method Fest Independent Film Festival. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide

Coming upon a street shooting, Andy (Dennis Franz) fires at what he thinks is the perpetrator's car -- but cannot prove that he fired correctly when the only eyewitness, the original shooting victim, disappears. As Andy nervously awaits an Internal Affairs investigation, the other detectives begin to suspect that newcomer Connie McDowell (Charlotte Ross) is a spy from the IAB. And in another development, a videotape shot in the bathroom of a bar may nail a rapist. With this episode, Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon graduates from "recurring" to "regular" cast member as ADA Valerie Haywood. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
1999 proved a banner year for screen portrayals of Satan's love life: first his relationship with Saddam Hussein went under the microscope in South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut, and a few months later his search for a girl to settle down with became the basis of this thriller. With the millennium approaching, a series of disturbing signs suggests that Satan (here played by Gabriel Byrne) has returned to Earth and is walking the streets of New York City. It seems that Satan needs to find a woman who will bear his child, as the time for the arrival of the anti-Christ draws near. A woman named Christine (Robin Tunney) believes that she has seen the Devil and felt his presence, and it's up to Jericho Cane (Arnold Schwarzenegger), a former policeman turned elite bodyguard, to keep her safe from The Dark Lord. End of Days was both directed and photographed by Peter Hyams; Kevin Pollak, Renee Olstead, and Udo Kier are among the supporting cast. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
