Not just another Clint Eastwood movie. Of course, Clint directs and stars as Nick Pulovski, a veteran cop assigned to the auto theft division. But his own agenda is to find the criminal that killed his partner. To his dismay, Pulovski is given a new partner...rookie cop David Ackerman(Charlie Sheen). The former homicide cop is still marching to his own drummer and is perturbed that his young charge is reluctant to stray from the rules. When Pulovski is held hostage by a master criminal named Strom(Raul Julia), who is demanding a ton of money...but would just be happy enough to torture and kill him; Ackerman goes into super-cop mode and begins kicking some mean ass in his search for his partner. Strom and his right-hand woman Liesl(Sconia Braga)let bullets fly(definitely an understatement)before each meets that clichéd bullet between the eyes.
Tom Skerritt plays Ackerman's estranged father, who on second thought provides ransom money that actually ends up whirling on the ground at the San Jose airport . Also in the cast are: Lara Flynn Boyle, Marco Rodrigues, Pepe Serna and Donna Mitchell. Most impressive is Sheen busting up the bar before setting it on fire.
