A crooked cop gets a second chance to go straight, but finds his shady past returning with a vengeance while tracking the violent thugs who are brutalizing the dancers at a local strip club. It's been a whole year since Detective Callahan (Stephen Dorff) was rescued by a stranger during a drug bust gone awry. Ever since that day, the detective has worked hard to clean up his reputation. But his life changes forever when that mystery hero emerges from the shadows to request a favor. The local strippers have recently fallen prey to a group of men who believe they are above the law. In order to bring them to justice, Detective Calahan must take caution not to reveal how his own previous actions helped to enable the perpetrators. Now the closer Detective Callahan comes to getting his men, the more he risks revealing the past misdeeds that he has worked so hard to cover up since cheating death, and turning over a new leaf. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Pina Bausch was one of Europe's most celebrated choreographers, fusing the discipline of ballet with the freedom of modern dance and approaching her material in a bold, innovative and emotionally compelling manner. Bausch made the acquaintance of German filmmaker Wim Wenders, and he began making a documentary about her life and work. The focus of Wenders' film shifted dramatically in 2009, when Bausch was diagnosed with cancer and died only a few days later. Wenders considered abandoning the project, but after meeting with the members of her dance company, Tanztheater Wuppertal, Wenders chose instead to create a cinematic interpretation of Bausch's art, preserving several of her pieces and the work of her dancers for the ages. Pina is the result, a performance film that takes several of Bausch's dance pieces into the open and celebrates the beauty and physicality of dance; the film was shot in 3D to give a greater sense of the power and interplay of bodies in motion. Pina received its North American premiere at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
