Mad Dog and Glory

In this offbeat crime drama, shy Chicago cop Wayne Dobie's low-key demeanor earns him the affectionate nickname "Mad Dog," but when he saves the life of mob boss Frank Milo during a convenience store hold-up, Milo offers him a chance at love and redemption in the form of Glory, an alluring young waitress. As they fall for each other, their complicated arrangement is put to the test when Milo demands Glory back, leading to a series of hilarious and intense confrontations. With its inspired casting and prevailing sweetness, "Mad Dog and Glory" is an oddball treat that explores themes of love, identity, and power in this 1993 American crime drama.
