Bad Apple,

An undercover FBI agent finds himself knee-deep in double-crossing wiseguys and caught up in an unconventional love story in the Turner Network Television (TNT) Original movie BAD APPLE, starring Golden Globe® nominee Chris Noth (Sex and the City, TNT's Caesar), Golden Globe® nominee Colm Meaney (The Snapper), Oscar® winner Mercedes Ruehl (The Fisher King), Robert Patrick (Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle), Dagmara Dominczyk (The Count of Monte Cristo) and Oscar® nominee Elliott Gould (Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice). Noth also serves as executive producer with Daniel H. Blatt (TNT's Kissinger and Nixon and The Virginian), Lorenzo Minoli (TNT's Caesar) and Jan Korbelin. The film is directed by Adam Bernstein (Scrubs, Ed) with a teleplay by Howard Korder (Stealing Sinatra), based on the novel by Anthony Bruno. BAD APPLE premieres Monday, Feb. 16, at 9 p.m. (ET/PT), exclusively on TNT.

BAD APPLE combines distinctive action, characters and dialogue in a story about two FBI agents, Mike Tozzi (Noth) and Cuthbert Gibbons (Meaney), trying to bring down a loan-sharking business run by the mob. Things become increasingly intense after a series of crosses and double-crosses leave both agents at the mercy of their targets. But that doesn't prevent the sexual tension from heating up, as one of the agents (Noth) gets tangled up with his informant's sister.

Characters Tozzi and Gibbons make their long-awaited screen debut in BAD APPLE, a fast-paced drama with dark comedic overtones. Author Bruno's books have been praised for their crackling dialogue and humorously off-kilter characters and situations. Star and executive producer Noth describes Bruno's story as "a fresh look at an old genre. What mostly struck me about the story was the kind of organic way he let the humor come out of the characterization - the way the characters speak, the way they look at the world. It was just too irresistible not to try to give it a go."
