Plays an incorruptible Detroit police detective who throws away the book when it conflicts with his determination to achieve instant justice. This attitude gets him into trouble with the public, the media, his superiors, not least corrupt fellow officers. Many fights, shootouts and chases. Vehicles are totalled by the score. Half the characters aren't what they seem.
Some girls dance in their birthday costume in a night club, but the local censors have been at it.
Lots of black actors on both sides of the law. Tom Arnold is the comedy relief as a TV show host. Women there are in this pix, but as people, not sex objects. He is especially well cast as forensic psychologist Alex Cross, the literary creation of James Patterson. As Gary Soneji, Michael Wincott isn't out to collect a ransom or kill the pre-teenage daughter of a US senator, but to play head games and get the renowned criminal profiler to publicly acknowledge that he's met his match.
