Warning: Spoilers
Ambition, incest, murder, and jealousy are themes of *Heart of Justice*. Eric Stoltz is an ambitious and cocky reporter who meets Emma, (Jennifer Connelly) the reticent and mysterious sister of loose cannon, Dermott Mulroney, who attempts to hide the skeleton in his family's prestigious upper Eastside society closet. Outraged over the none to subtle hints at his family's honor by Capotesque- author, Dennis Hopper, Mulroney is driven to his limits by the printed innuendos and thinly veiled hints of family debauchery, madness, and lust.

Deeper mysteries arise as Stoltz, a reporter with a yen for a hot tip succumbs to the considerable physical charms of Connelly, and as his professional objectivity is swept under the sheets with Emma, the mystery surrounding her relationships, both familial and sexual, peak. When Bill Macy, Stoltz's competitor, joins the Emma fan club, the story leaves the audience with little left to imagine.

Performances by a stellar cast moves the story from complex to strange with enjoyable villains, Hopper and Mulroney stealing scenes from each other. Stoltz and Connelly are hot and heavy, but Connelly and Mulroney are the hottest. David Mamet kudos.
