The Last Shot
Reassigned to Rhode Island, Devine has come up with an elaborate scheme to take down infamous mob boss John Gotti.When a woman, desperate with the endless barking from the kennel next door to her apartment she shares with boyfriend Steven Schats, is about to harm a pomeranian Devine intervenes.Instead of ending the investigation at that point as the FBI expects, Devine convinces the bureau to hold out a week longer to catch others racketeering.The film jumps forward two years to the premiere of a movie based on the sting operation called Leaving Arizona.The plot of The Last Shot is loosely based on the true story of an FBI sting operation code-named Dramex which was run by FBI agent Garland Schweickhardt, who recruited aspiring screenwriters Dan Lewk and Gary Levy to participate unwittingly in a sting operation aimed at ensnaring mobsters and Teamsters union officials in a bribery scheme.Arriving at the location in Las Vegas, they found a genuine crew already there shooting Nasty Boys (Which, ironically, was about undercover police officers).The grip truck ran into an elderly lady's car the first day of shooting in New Orleans and the crew wound up paying off the woman with hundreds peeled from a roll of bills.
