À propos de ce film

In return for Warner Bros. greenlighting his pet project White Hunter, Black Heart (1990), Clint Eastwood directed and starred in this more commercial film, an action caper about a mismatched pair of auto theft cops. Eastwood is grizzled veteran detective Nick Pulovski, who's determined to bring down the chop-shop operation being run by a pair of German crooks, Strom (Raul Julia) and Liesl (Sonia Braga). Although he's been officially removed from the case and partnered with a green, recently promoted detective, David Ackerman (Charlie Sheen), the hard-drinking Nick's not about to let the car thieves get away with murder. David, in the meanwhile, is dealing with his own issues, including the death of his brother (for which he was responsible), his unhappy girlfriend Sarah (Lara Flynn Boyle) and his estrangement from his wealthy father Eugene (Tom Skerritt).

Notes et avis

Really sucks! What else can I say. Nothing about it is any good. Bad script, bad dialogue bad acting caused by the preceding two things. Really surprised considering Clint Eastwood took the lead. He must have needed the paycheck. Turned it off after 20 minutes

Clint Eastwood must marry Charlie sheen gay couple

Ignore the bad reviews. It's good for what it is. Just don't take it too serious.
