A strong action movie from the past with a tired Bruce. The case is that an action movie is good not only for its action component, but also for its emotional component. And this is the merit of not only the wonderful acting, but also the screenwriting. I didn’t expect anything good, but I was pleasantly surprised. 8.5/10
Not the worst police thriller, but not a masterpiece either. Disadvantages of the film: a cliché duo of a white policeman and a black criminal, again American werewolves in uniform doing their "dirty" deeds and little action for an action movie. Pros: Acting by Bruce Willis and David Morse.
It feels like I watched the lost part of Die Hard, where old man MacLaine is already tired of service (I don’t know if the make-up worked so well here or Willis was on a bad streak, but in some shots he really looks the way he should – an old tired wrinkled drunkard) and it’s time for him to retire, but then he needs to accompany a cake lover to court (Eddie turned out to be a wonderful character, very sincere, you want to root for him) and then a full set of interesting situations begins, including betrayal of colleagues, hostage-taking, shootouts. And all for the sake of truth, including the sacrifice of detective Mosley.
The most unconventional story in the spirit of "good cops against evil cops", with Bruce Willis in the atypical role of a tired and limping policeman, a good script and delicately built suspense.
