Kurt Russell as the suave, cool, cunning chain smoking cop gives an interesting performance in this otherwise tedious 1988 film. His best friend is Mel Gibson, a drug dealer. How the two really became friends is never adequately explained. Of course, Russell is assigned to investigate Gibson.
Michelle Pfeifer is the owner of the restaurant where the drugs are being sold and so she comes under suspicion as well. Michelle spends the balance of this film going back and forth between the Gibson and Russell characters. The bartender in her restaurant seems to be an interesting character, but his character is never fully developed here.
I immediately guessed who Mexican Federal Agent Raul Julia really was.
For a drug-related movie, there is relatively little action and the shoot out scene at the end, is inane at best.
