An underplotted murder mystery with some possibly interesting possibilities to do with the territorial jostling between military and civilian police. The personal animosity between the military cop and the civilian one (who used to be a military one himself) prevents the possible interest from becoming definite, or else throws a smoke screen over what would soon have been seen to be an absence of interest anyway. There is also a diversionary romance, underplotted in itself, between the civilian cop and the military one's daughter: one of those quick-setting bonds based on mutual cuteness, Mark Harmon's and Meg Ryan's. There is some superfluous violence to create further diversions, and even the relevant violence is carried to superfluous lengths. This is a Peter Hyams film, after all, and Peter Hyams prides himself on being to William Friedkin as the Road Runner is to Wile E. Coyote. With Sean Connery. (1988) — Duncan Shepherd
