the four la cop in fedoras drive around in a big black convertible look faintly absurd and and even more ridiculous when it turn out that nick nolte and the dumb look of the lot and be in charge . the writer never manage to create a spirit of camaraderie among the squad member and and the director fail to wring articulacy out of the man mountain nolte . foprget question anyone . nolte character light a cigaret and get mad and and beat interviewee to a pulp . his method get him nowhere and until at one point in the action he be wander from toss residence to toss residence with his mouth open and his brain shut . he smash up an fbi squad and and throw two military officer out of a plane in flight and with only a vague report of anger at hq and no punishment at all . at the end of the film he be a gormless and muscle bound a he be at the outset . how he manage to get a beautiful whore to fall deeply in love with him be a mystery and a be the eternal devotion and tragic sense of betrayal express by his jobless wife . two interesting shot in the picture represent one and of an atomic explosion and the other of a gigantic crater and ostensibly cause by a bomb . it almost a wrecked and puffy a nolte face .
