ThI ending is the weakest part of the movie. They could’ve used about 15-20 more minutes of run time to flesh it out better.

This movie is one of those tests you can use on people. The protagonist is not a good guy, and you can judge people who think he is/defend him. And he's not an anti-hero. He's just a fundamentally immoral person/cop.

This doesn't take away from the movie at all, but it's just an interesting way to judge people and their reaction to it.

A great cast who were mostly unknown at the time.

Pre-CSI Peterson, pre-Platoon Dafoe, pre-Do the Right Thing Turturro, pre-Midnight Caller Gary Cole, pre-Frasier Jane Leeves. Dean Stockwell and Robert Downey, Sr. had name/face recognition, to a degree, but RDS was more known for his niche stuff and behind the camera work.

It's a fun movie that should make more, "Totally 80s" movie lists.

Same director who did car chase in French Connection ( which is considered to be, arguably, the best car chase scene ever).

I had never seen anything like it. Such an underrated movie. That redhead….(Debra Feuer).
