i read a lot of positive press about this canadian shot film and first when it be be make ( in vancouver ) and soon after it release . apparently the movie have be sell to every country in the world . not bad for a modest little cop movie and feature dependable name like marc singer ( an iconic actor a the earth hero in the 1980 alien tv series v ) and twitchy michael madsen ( no doubt nab his spot in the new bond film and due to all the hype surround his appearance here ) and good ol charles durning and and venerable dennis hopper . hopper weave in and out throughout lapd a an lapd division command officer . singer be your basic good cop and durning play his dad . madsen play a dirty cop ( naturally ) . i give kudos to marc singer for deliver a modest and yet impressive performance . the movie be base on real life event and and there be more than enough blood n gut gun play action here and couple to numerous gorgeous ( and gorgeously nude ) woman and to provide many entertaining diversion . i always get a kick out of the film produce by maurice smith production and this show be no exception . whether it 1969 cycle savage ( with bruce dern ) and or smith 1980 ( roger corman co produce ) teen comedy like screwball or recruit ( a hell of a lot funny than any of the police academy ) and his film have always have a unique stamp of eccentricity to them and usually to compensate for the budgetary constraint that most independent film ( ie . non studio film ) have to deal with . if smith can make a movie ( that really do look like a movie ) with the small budget that he usually have to work with and then i be look forward to see what he can do with some reel money . i hear he have a western and a sci fi action piece and a supernatural mystery already line up . the best be yet to come and i be sure .
