When Israeli film director Ariel Vromen called up Ray Liotta to join his film, “1992”, the late screen legend had one question. “In the last five years, Ray was playing softer characters in television and film, so when I called, he said, ‘Is it dirty?

Because I want to go down and dirty on this film. It’s been a while!’” Vromen told ET Canada at a preview screening for friends and family at Hollywood’s Harmony Gold theatre on Wednesday.

I was like, ‘Perfect.’” Set during the 1992 Los Angeles riots, the film follows a custodian played by Tyrese Gibson, who brings his son (portrayed by Christoper Emanual) to work only to become embroiled in a heist orchestrated by a father-son duo played by Liotta and Scott Eastwood.
