Flawless

Flawless

When the once highly decorated police officer Walter Koontz (Robert de Niro, Casino) suffers a stroke while attempting to aid a neighbor, an unorthodox form of therapy is prescribed to help him overcome a resulting speech impediment. The suggested therapy becomes even more unorthodox when Walter asks his neighbor, Rusty (Philip Seymour Hoffman, Capote), a flamboyant drag queen with musical talent (and the past recipient of Walter's ire) for help. The unlikely arrangement soon mellows into a grudging friendship in writer/director Joel Schumacher's Flawless. Flawless features supporting performances by Wilson Jermaine Heredia (Rent), Barry Miller (Saturday Night Fever, The Last Temptation of Christ) and Chris Bauer (Face/Off, TV's True Blood).
