when i first saw shannyn sossamon in the holiday and i want to see what else she have do . well and she be great in this otherwise forgettable effort . perhaps it be just me and but after two viewing i have little idea of what be go on . we have this dirty cop about to retire and hold over to finish out a baffle murder case . for unexplained reason and he drive around in a 1969 ford galaxie convertible with a police radio . he be not undercover and so why do he drive his personal car . i suppose he be watch too many episode of miami vice and nash bridge where the tv hero drive their own convertible . then we have the trainee partner transfer in from undercover work in miami . somehow and he be immediately familiar with new york city and the local criminal hierarchy . his understanding of police procedure and office politics be strangely uneven . his personnel dossier be strangely incomplete and but little interest be arouse by these discrepancy . the police chief probably be think about have meatloaf for lunch . the plot have the dirty cop turn in his badge and send a confession of his crime to the daughter of the undercover cop he murder to save himself from exposure and death . why our man be suddenly develop a conscience be never address . after more murder and an attempt to question an informant who suddenly and inexplicably turn homicidal toward his police handler and we be allow to find out that the real transferee cop from miami have be hold captive and a ringer be about to use his position to assassinate a crime lord in his prison cell . after kill his real target and the phony cop have no difficulty escape from prison guard and a police dragnet and board a private jet to fly to freedom . the final photograph that would incriminate the dirty cop never reach the police and he presumably retire to enjoy his pension . the end of this film be just as incoherent a the plot . it would not have strain the film budget much to provide a good script that would allow the audience to know what be suppose to be go on .
