Storyline
Did you know
- GoofsNumerous technical law enforcement mistakes, especially for a large metro police agency. 1. No one would move from an officer to Deputy Chief in one year, skipping the ranks of Sergeant, Lieutenant, Captain, and Major. 2. Police officers do not turn off their cars with all of the lights going as West did several times. The emergency equipment would drain the battery and leave them stranded and unable to respond. 3. A Chief would not come into a roll call and publicly berate a Deputy Chief based on an unsupported allegation. 4. Detectives in large cities, and especially high-ranking ones such as West, do not perform patrol functions as shown. 5. Officers do not use their names on radio calls, they have radio ID numbers. 6. The SUV crash as shown was not possible. The vehicle would have collided with the objects, not flipped over. The speed of the vehicle as shown was far less than the 60 MPH the officer stated, there were no skid marks, and dispatchers do not give out the registered owner's name on crash calls.

Tracking down a serial killer in the marshy jungle of prostitution and decadent promiscuity in a great city
Sherry Stringfield and Virginia Madsen make a terrific team in trying to lead a police force back to control and normal operation after a terrible lapse of efficiency when pervert criminality runs amuck without the perpetrator being caught. To help boosting the efficiency and direct the public opinion in more favourably, a journalist is employed to follow Stringfield around and write about the activity, while in the beginning he is just constantly in the way messing things up. The tempo is fierce like in so many efficient police thrillers, but you really get in touch with the criminal reality which they will have to tamper with, including hackers, corruption, all kinds of abuse, the only thing left out to spare the audience being children - there are no children here at all, fortunately, since there are quite enough of alcoholics, perverts, and typical metropolitan misery on all levels of the gutter. You have to fasten your seatbelts to be able to follow all the raging fury of this revolting odyssey around the hectic work of police obligations in a major city with no relief. Sherry Stringfield is all admirable efficiency, while Virginia Madsen has the wrong kind of husband, who tries to commit suicide, which does not improve the public image of a city police. The film is documentary in character, all is strictly matter of fact, no room for sentimentality or pity here, but it sure is interesting and engaging.
