Angie Dickinson plays a New York City homicide cop assigned to a task force to investigate the death of a female cop in a department store bomb blast .The death is not the only one as soon after another policewoman is killed when a drug set up goes awry.Both women were Hispanic and had recently successfully sued the Police Department for reinstatement .At first Dickinson believes the killings were the work of disgruntled male officers angered at male colleagues losing their jobs as a consequence of the womens'actions .Soon however it becomes clear one of the victims was taking bribes and that other officers are similarly compromised .She ignores warnings to drop the case and soon she is battling to save her life as well as her career. The acting is pretty solid with good turns from Dickinson ,David soul as the commissioner ,Yaphet Kotto as an overzealous Internal Affairs investigator and Charles Gurning as Dickinson's ex-cop Dad.The writing and plotting are "by the numbers"and the direction functional.

This is no great shakes but passes muster as a workmanlike TV cop movie

Ange Dickinson plays Sgt. Kelly Mulcahaney, not to be confused with her "Police Woman" TV Series character Sgt. Suzanne 'Pepper' Anderson, but you might as well confuse the two because this TV movie was written and directed by the creator of Police Woman and plays out like an updated version of that series. Dickinson is still the same tough female cop in a man's world that she was on "Police woman," but in this TV movie there's a bit more "Cagney & Lacey" 1980s grit to the proceedings. That story revolves around Dickinson's NYCP detective looking into a series of killings of female police officers and finds out that she's the next target. There's nothing really of note here with the exception of Dickinson, who I've always liked since first seeing "Rio Bravo" and "Point Blank," but that was enough to hold my interest and to make it worth watching. Joseph Bologna and David "Hutch" Soul also appear in the telefilm.
