About Special Treatment
Jerry Butler gives a powerful performance in the role of a tormented man who is about to testify against a sinister criminal. The criminal has vowed to do whatever it takes to make sure that Butler does not take the witness stand, so Butler is placed into protective custody at a secret location. Butler is certain that he will be double crossed by someone on the inside. Is the traitor one of the cops who is assigned to protect him? Is it the promiscuous D.A. herself? Or is there someone lurking outside the luxurious hiding place, waiting for an opportunity?
Directed by Stuart Canterbury, Special Treatment leans on a strong ensemble — Alexandra Quinn, Ashley Nicole, Taylor Wane — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1991.
