my tv guide give this movie 3 tick ( out of 4 ) and describe it a a gritty police thriller . they should be sue . the only reason i stay watching be that i couldn not believe how truly awful this film be and from start to finish . there no plot and all the character be unrealistic . even jam wood and robert webber never seem like real cop . it doesn not fit into any genre and except terrible . the 1970s sexism and the japanese american character ( play a racial stereotype ) be plain embarrassing . i be sure that all the actor involve in this rubbish ( particularly james wood ) must cringe at every mention of it . to be avoid at all cost .
