Chris Evans stars as a drug-addicted lawyer fighting to get safe needles into hospitals in order to help combat accidental needlesticks in Puncture, hitting theaters on September 23rd. In this clip from the Millennium Entertainment drama (based on a true story), Evans takes on a high-powered attorney played by Brett Cullen.
The Plot: Mike Weiss (Chris Evans) is a talented young Houston lawyer and a functioning drug addict. Paul Danziger (co-director Mark Kassen), his longtime friend and partner, is the straight-laced and responsible yin to Mike’s yang. Their mom-and-pop personal injury law firm is getting by, but things really get interesting when they decide to take on a case involving Vicky (Vinessa Shaw), a local ER nurse, who is pricked by a contaminated needle on the job.
As Weiss and Danziger dig deeper into the case, a health care and pharmaceutical conspiracy teeters on exposure and heavyweight attorneys move in on the defense. Out of their league but invested in their own principles, the mounting pressure of the case pushes the two underdog lawyers and their business to the breaking point.
