One of the year's hottest surprises" (Rex Reed); this "feel-good drama" (San Francisco Chronicle) from writer/director Joel Schumacher combines the acting talents of Oscar® -winners Robert De Niro (1980; Best Actor; "Raging Bull") and Philip Seymour Hoffman (2006; Best Actor; "Capote")! "Flawless" lives up to its name with a story line that's full of compassion; tolerance and most of all "heart" (San Francisco Chronicle)! Walter Koontz (De Niro) -- once a hero cop; now a security guard -- lives in a rundown Hell's Kitchen tenement. One fateful night; after hearing the cries of a neighbor in trouble; his attempt to help turns into a nightmare when he suffers a stroke. Paralyzed on his right side and unable to speak clearly; Koontz; on the advice of his doctor; seeks voice lessons. But with winter holding him hostage to his apartment; he has no choice but to seek help from a musically inclined neighbor whom he vehemently dislikes an outspoken guy named Rusty (Hoffman)!
