Benjy Taylor is a rookie cop who goes undercover to nab a gang of car thieves led by Ted Varrick.
Taylor becomes too involved and starts to enjoy the thrill and lifestyle of the car thieves, and falls in love with Varrick's sister Ann....
It's the same old story isn't it? you get approached in a bar by Randy quaid with a mullet, and the next thing, you're working for Mac from Predator, who asks you to pick up Topper Harley!! Surely....you must be 'winning'....
It's one of those films that were made in the late eighties, that was all style and no substance, and the story is as old as the hills.
Cop goes undercover, becomes best friends with the main guy, falls in love with someone close to the main guy, lets his new life take over him.......hold on....Doesn't that sound like Point Break?? it does sound a lot like the Swayze classic, but believe me, this is far inferior than that movie.
Sheen looks like he cannot be bothered to mess up his hair, and Sweeney looks like he is fighting a losing battle, he knows in every scene he is being overshadowed by Sheen.
It leads to nowhere, there isn't going on in the films narrative, and the final third is as predictable as Saturday going into Sunday.
Mundane at best.
