Here’s one I have not seen in close to 20 years. No, it does not hold up to memory, but it is hardly a failure either. So much of what I remember being cool about this movie was actually derived from the short lived Fox series that came after. This is a fairly standard 1980s police yarn (with the electric guitar licks to prove it) but James Caan (!), Mandy Patinkin (!!) and Terrence Stamp (!!!) are all fairly great in their roles.
