ThiefHott Too much of everything

Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

sol **SPOILERS*** Muddled big city crime drama involving this former New Orleans cop now turned bounty hunter Mace, David Keith, getting involved in finding the city Mayor's David Stites, Charles Napler, daughter Donna's, April Bogenschultz, murderer.As things turn out the #1 suspect is Donna's date the night that she was killed Mitch McCullum, Robert Hayes. Mitch was anything but the man of Donna's dreams who gave him the send off without as much as a good-by in what a dud he was with her. It's later that evening as she was taking a shower that this guy Bennett, Ted Prior, snuck into her apartment and ended up strangling her. we soon find out that Bennett was working for Mayor Stites' deputy Bob Jenkins, Stacey Keach, who's looking to blackmail the mayor by planting, in a tell all book that Donna's was in the process of writing, the false story that he molested Donna when she was a little girl and end up getting his job by forcing Stites to resign from office.In covering his tracks in Donna's murder Jenkins later guns down Bennett as he comes to get his payment for offing her leaving no one to implicate him in her murder. It's when Mace starts to suspect that Donna's murder was political not a random act of violence that Jenkins gets hold of members of the New Orleans police department to knock both Mace as well as McCullum off to keep them from bringing the truth out. We get the heat turned on at least an extra 20 degrees in the movie with the appearance of the 36-24-35 Sarah played by the sexy "Baywatch" lifeguard Pamela Anderson. It was Sarah while turning tricks who lost her working clothes, to Mace no less, and has been trying to track them down ever since. This combination of bounty hunter pasty and dizzy blond in the end puts an end to Bob Jenkins' attempt to not only grab the keys to the city in becoming its next mayor but later to become the states's governor!With all three-Mace Mitch & Sarah- now a threat to Jenkins' future political ambitions he gets his paid off stooges in the New Orleans Police Department as well as a number of local hoods to try to both arrest and gun them down in their being responsible in poor Donna Stites death. Jenkins also has bail bondsman Bernie, Bernard Hocks, get his head bashed in with a baseball bat in order to keep his mouth shut about what he knows about Donna Stites murder. **SPOILERS*** In the end Mayor Stites in a news conference staged by Jenkins to announce his resigning as mayor instead lets the cat out of the bag, on live TV, in the fact that it was Jenkins , not Hayes or even Mace, who murdered his daughter! The films exciting ending sequence has the now exposed killer and blackmailer Bob Jenkins try to make his escape to an unnamed Caribbean or South American banana republic, where he would feel quite at home in, by holding Mayor Stites as a hostage. What turns out to be Jenkins biggest problem is not the police FBI or SWAT team that's hot on his tail but the person, the helicopter pilot, who's to fly him out of the country!Lots of action with an explosive pre 9/11 air crash into a high rise office building and actor David Keith doing a pretty good hot headed Sonny Corleone "Godfather" number, while dressed in drag as a hooker, on one of those bail jumpers he's out to bring in. By far the best reason to see the movie is the hot as a pistole Pamela Anderson, as Sarah, getting it on with Mace in a deserted alley that came very very close to getting the movie an X rating!

S.R. Dipaling A action-adventure,crime drama,pseudo-comedy,buddy picture that fails practically at all levels. Robert Hays,whose career had a handful of early successes--the short-lived success of TV's "Angie" and the two wildly funny "Airplane" movies--followed by a long string of films that would elicit blank stares of confusion if mentioned to the average film viewer--"Touched",anyone?--and numerous TV projects that would not last past a year(my fave was the TV treatment of "Starman"),ends up in this flick which really has little going for it except the film debut(?) of Playboy mega-babe and "Baywatch" fixture Pamela Anderson. Her nude/sex scenes along with a very lovingly filmed shower scene with starlet model April Bogenschutz really seem to be all that makes this flick seem watchable. David Keith(here a LONG ways from "An Officer and a Gentleman" and even "Firestarter") as the gruff,angry,hard-bitten cop seems to barely register here. Stacy Keach's usual oiliness is underused here, and the film is set squarely on the shoulders of Keith,Hays and Anderson. It seems as if the writer(s) of the movie,in desperate need of a catch-phrase for Keith' s character,is best able to come up with the "Don't EVER insult my mama!"when a thug or goon he runs into calls him an S.O.B. Not very inspired,need I say.Strictly late-night cable viewing. A cheap rental if you really must see this.

DoomsdaySlayer i thought this movie was kind of funny because david keith had sex with pamela anderson after a high speed chase. does anyone know why this is? the movie had D- action and a plot that only John Woo could do something with. It was a stupid movie but the sex scenes were good.

Bigk if you want to see great acting. This is the sort of movie which has an obvious appeal to some. It's not the quality of acting. But if you watched this movie to see fine Shakespearean actors giving their all, then I have no pity for you. The movie is fun on a few levels, but should in no way be taken seriously.
