Dav

Directed by Brad Anderson

Written by Brad Anderson & Stephen Gevedon

Stars David Caruso, Peter Mullan & Josh Lucas

Released August 10, 2001

Rated R

Runtime: 1hr 37min

RT: 64% critics, 63% audience

Gordon and his crew clean hazardous materials out of old buildings and this time they scored a hell of a contract to clean out the abandoned Danvers State Mental Hospital. The catch is, they’ll have to complete the project in a fraction of the time it would normally take. With tensions already high, Gordon and crew start to become affected by their surroundings. And by affected I don’t mean lung cancer.

This part is like someone walked onto the set and was like ‘you know what would be really cool here? How about you zoom in on Caruso like he’s Bruce Willis in Die hard’ and then left.
