i have the misfortune to watch this last night on the bbc and i expect i may have be the only viewer . from the beginning there be something quite wrong about the movie and after a few minute of view i manage to work out what it be . the movie be bad . not bad in a good way like wolfpack or a seagal film just plain old shoddy bad . why be this make into a movie . i have see a few episode of the tv series and think it be alright but i only saw repeat of that because they make this . i spend most of the film try to work out what the story be and by the end i be none the wiser . i seem to remember at some point a character and maybe farina mention that the mod squad can get in to place regular cop can not . the place turn out to be a club and one of the tough place to get into and maybe it be student night . i lose track of the plot at this point or maybe there be no plot and the movie be just chop together from various leftover from other tv series remake . be it an action comedy . i do not remember any laugh . overall this movie lack the real scene steal power of someone like seymour hoffman a the bad guy . with him ribisi would have have somebody to bounce off .
