Featured review
UNDER THE RADAR COPS & CORRUPTION...POLITICALLY CHARGED...GOOD CAST & STORY
Miss-Marketed and Ignored Movie about Four Honest Cops Knee-Deep in the Stench of Political and Law-Enforcement Corruption.
Reagan-Era Blow-Back about Highly Corrupt Politicians and Leaders in the LAPD Using Drug-Money to Get Rich and Fund the "Freedom-Fighters" in Central America.
Thinly Veiled Commentary about the Iran-Contra Scandal.
The Studio seemed Nervous about the Political Aspects of this Character Study.
It's about an Elite Squad of Brian Dennehy, Joey Pants, Jeff Fahey, and Bill Paxton Uncovering Not Only Drug-Trafficking but Corruption at the Highest Levels.
The Movie was Ignored by the Studio and Given the Bum's Rush.
Did Not Screen Well with Critics (What do they know?).
The Film is a Fine Action/Drama with the Four Actors Delivering Good Character Comradery and are a Convincing Squad.
Suspenseful Story Peppered with Good Action.
Underrated and Unacknowledged Film that Deserves a Second-Look.
