Check out Roger Ebert's review of this film...he nails it pretty good. I saw this for one reason...to see my last Ridley Scott film...the cop is played by Tom Berringer...he is a terrible cop and terrible husband and terrible father...Mimi Rogers plays the women he must "watch over"...oh, and that also means the woman he must fuck...she is trite and terrible...so that's the film two terrible people I could care less for...Scott did this after Legend to get into the action business and leave fantasy behind...he should have stuck with fantasy like he is doing and returning to next year with Prometheus...the only reason I would re-watch this crappy 80s throw back is for the cop's wife who has more balls then all the cops in this movie and in her own street wise way is 100 times prettier then Mimi Rogers...and that women was Lorraine Bracco...I never knew she was in this and she by far was the real star of this film...but for christ sake she takes back the cheating husband in the end...foreshadowing Goodfellas I guess.
By the way, Mad Men star Duck Philips gets stabbed with an ice pick at the start of the film
MINUS
