the perfect 6 step recipe for a boring middle of the road movie represent1 . take one burnt out and rogue ex cop with a bad attitude and yet a sensitive touch a well ( closet concert pianist with a pet cat ) while 2. add some cool retro gadget like a beat up porsche 356 and a roaring bike and a heavily patch leather jacket and a pair of cowboy boot with hole in the sol while 3. mix in a couple of free spirit location e. g. a trendy sea side apartment and a dedicated diner booth for an office while 4. spice it up with deep socio romantic theme such a a post divorce traumatize but finally remarry ex wife and a secretly admire and therefore forgiving waitress and a pair of former colleague cop only one of whom be really a complete jerk and a best buddy get ice over a suitcase full of illegal $ $ $ while 5. let it simmer for about 90 minute in a fast pace though not necessarily logical or internally consistent sequence of mediocre action scene and cheap tender moment and sluggish wise crack while 6. serve with either a comfortable pillow to sleep straight through it all or something a bit more interesting ( do not worry represent even the yellow page will do . ) .
