Perfunctory male bonding between new cop partners (one of them's suicidal, the other is fifty, gray, and domestic), but some energetic action near the end, not counting the hand-to-hand stuff, confusingly shot to cover up Mel Gibson's physical limitations. The star, as a matter of fact, finishes a poor fifth in the overall virility ratings, behind co-star Danny Glover and subordinates Gary Busey, Mitch Ryan, and Tom Atkins, and he is hampered even in casual conversation by his guiltily swallowed Australian accent. Directed by Richard Donner. (1987) — Duncan Shepherd
