Out of Control

Aside from the fact you knew the dirty cop from the onset, the rest was predictable and took far too long to bring him to justice ... no partner would sink the other so that should have been the first clue ... they both should have had their badges and guns taken and put on administrative leave while internal affairs investigated ... apparently chicago police department doesn't have an internal affairs division ... the death of a confidential informant would under most circumstances would call for an iad review ... i also thought the karate moves at the end were stupidly done .... chris kramer made the perfect sleezy dirty cop .. he oozed oil

Gave up after 10 minutes. When they are at the scene in the auto wreckers and Linda's character comes up with a rather whole looking 9mm projectile and says it is a 9mm. She then says as a question, Glock? the one male cop says, Glock 9 (no such model). You can't tell what make of gun fired a bullet by looking at the bullet. Wouldn't subject myself to anything further after this scene. save the 90 minutes of your life for watching the test pattern channel, or watching paint dry.

In all honesty I was expecting a pretty bad movie but I have to say that it turned out to be okay.

Plotwise it's your usual TV movie of the week standard fare. Nothing electrifying and the pace is rather pedantic but it's definitely a lot better than 80% of the made for TV movies that I've seen, and unfortunately for me I've seen quite a lot lately! The main cast puts their time in even if it is rather listlessly and formulaic. The only downside to the casting is that of Laura Vandervoot. She's highly unconvincing in her supposed role as a police criminologist and even more so as an aspiring detective to be, instead looking fashionable in most scenes and not really doing much. For someone who's supposedly top of their class in detective school she sure makes a lot of big mistakes and crosses some professional lines. However, the surprising part is that she didn't do a bad acting job. Nothing spectacular but nothing that sank to the depths of a certain Paris Hilton, which I must admit I had been expecting.

All in all, if you've got nothing to do on a Sat night, or even a weeknight and are waiting for the laundry to finish drying it's worth filling in the time. Don't watch with high expectations and you'll make it through the movie just fine.

So Marcie is an arrogant sl-t bit-h forrensic scientist wannabe detective who is totally clueless direspecting her dad and ignoring his valued advice! I agree with another contributor. They should have had a scene where Lisa beats Marcie to a pulp! By the I cannot stand the guy who plays the bad cop Gus! He also played a dirty cop in Her Fatal Flaw alongside Victoria Pratt!

This movie is an average to poor "made for TV" movie.

There's only one reason to watch, Laura Vandervoort. One of the most beautiful woman in the world, and she can actually act.

The writing and directing are the main problem and some of the supporting cast is also pretty weak.
