Bruce is the owner of a Special Patrol, a franchised civilian auxiliary police force. During George's visit, Bruce is killed, and George, who witnessed the killing, takes over the patrol to seek revenge. But first George has to earn respect from the patrol, and at first all of them want him out. But with the help of a police liaison (Tony Goldwyn), he uncovers an illicit scheme involving $50 million, a case Bruce was just about to break when he was killed. George decides to stick around and complete the work his brother started. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

    I really liked this movie, mostly because I'm a big Christian Slater fan, and he's plays both cute and tough in this movie. At times this movie is more of a comedy and at other times it's a crime drama, it goes back and forth. I liked it anyway, it's just a good movie for Slate... read morer, and if you're a fan of his, you wont want to miss this one.

    A crazy little 90's movie that covers every possible way to depict the cop genre. The on-screen narration is somewhat fitting and the extreme violence in the face of comedy seems to work as well. I swear, some of the sound effects and devices could have only been used at the time... read more. I love Christian Slater's performance and it's one of the main reasons I can accept and love the movie rather than find it weird. By today's standards this is just bizarre and crazy, but there was a time when this was considered normal.

    Another classic from a misguided adolescence...

    Christian Slater makes this dreadful action-comedy film really dull.
  • March 10, 2010
    This is a some-what entertaining, but stupid screwball cop comedy.

    A favorite.

    I remember liking this movie more when I was younger. On recent viewing, not so much. Ripping off the theme to Beverly Hills Cop is kind of whack too, especially if you're the one who wrote the original. Heh...

All involved could do better. An interesting curiosity only for diehard Milla Jovovich fans.

Forgettable except for San Francisco and the cute girl.
