Actually, between eye rolls and unintentional laughs, I had to admit that I was having a good time even though a ton of stuff going on was just plain moronic and unbelievable. The opening scene featuring some police officers being distracted while talking to prostitutes on the street gives the impression that the film is going to be one thing when it ends up being something else. A cop shot by a woman dressed as a cop trying to steal his police car seemed to be like a scene from "Fort Apache: The Bronx". It turns out to be a messy plotline concerning plutonium trafficking, giving Nick Cassavettes a freaky violent scene on a southern California freeway in a phone booth calling his brother Sam Jones in St. Louis right before the crackling booth goes over the embankment.
The next thing you know, cop Jones is in L. A., getting drunk at a restaurant, finding a ride with beautiful attorney Vanessa Williams and getting her involved in this ridiculous caper being chased by creepy international criminals. They're driving down the freeway while one of the villains shoots at them with a missile shooting gun and managing to make it out of every dangerous situation they encounter. The shear audacity of all of these ridiculous things is fun to watch simply because it's so bad, but Jones and Williams are actually pretty sexy together, even when preparing to have sex out in the open while the missile gun is trained on them, of course missing them by a mile. So ridiculous that it's funny, and so hideously written and directed that it seems like a sin to completely hate.
