Jimmie Rainwood was minding his own business when two corrupt police officers (getting an address wrong) burst into his house, expecting to find a major drug dealer. Rainwood is shot, and the officers frame him as a drug dealer.
This is a very unconventional action film, with a good guy turned into a threat. I suppose that's not too strange, a man driven to the edge. But here we have a guy who goes from innocent to killer and beyond, making it his business to crush a pair of corrupt cops.
While corrupt cops exist, this film goes out of its way to make the duo as sleazy and hated as possible. My goodness, I just felt rage in my soul about these two guys, so I have to give the actors credit for really coming across as jerks. Selleck was also great, though it was a shame he had to go from good to bad in order to make it through the story.
