A young Denzel Washington plays the rookie cop who basically strips down to his "Tidy Whidies" at a carnival to reassure the bad guy he has no weapons and seems to be hailed a hero for his recklessness. John Lithgow plays the psychotic Blake who tries his best to turn Styles life upside down and make him suffer.

What starts as a good opening to a film that has it's moments of being slow then goes back on track with a cat mouse game then the tables are turned the mouse starts chasing the cat that was decently executed even with the slow revenge plan. Kevin Pollack plays the loyal cop partner who believes Styles innocence along the way as nobody else will. This was a decent action thriller by Russell Mulcahy.

Have a great weekend all
I love this trashy film. Absurdly sleazy and demented (you can smell the old sweat), and filmed with bravado by Russell Mulcahy.
