Trivia
Don Johnson's first attempt to establish himself as a film action star. His commitments to Deux flics à Miami (1984) prevented him from accepting high-profile genre films such as Les Incorruptibles (1987) and Piège de cristal (1988). Johnson was able to make this film in part due to the 1988 Writer's Guild of America strike delaying production on Miami Vice's fifth and final season.

Quotes
Jerry Beck: Come on, Kressler, open your eyes. These people aren't a rag tag bunch of yahoos that drink beer and run around in sheets on Saturday night. They've got money behind them. They've got strong pockets of community support.
Arthur Kressler: No proof. You don't know that for sure.
Jerry Beck: The hell I don't. We just walked out of one. Who the fuck do you think called ahead and warned Gephardt? They were standing on the fucking porch when...
Arthur Kressler: Excuse me. As one professional to another, I would appreciate it if you minimised your constant use of profanity.
Jerry Beck: You're kidding?
Arthur Kressler: No, sir, I'm not kidding.
Jerry Beck: I'm telling you something's going on here. I'm telling you something big is happening here, and all that grabs you is my language? What the fuck is the matter with you?
Arthur Kressler: That's a good example. I'm a Christian, Beck. I'm sure that seems like probably a joke to you, but I find your language personally offensive.

Featured review

LA cop takes on white supremacists who've killed one of his own.

I shied away from this film initially, due to its low IMDB rating at the time, but I was very pleasantly surprised. It's based on actual events, yet the story has all the right elements of a great action film. Don Johnson's LA cop is up against tremendous odds, a renegade, a drunk, lonely, and yet an entirely likeable character. Whether you like Johnson (the actor), or Frankenheimer (the director), or action films (the genre) in general, give this film a chance. It's almost perfect. Completely underrated by the scoring on this site.
