Intelligent, well-acted, “action-packed”, intriguing…the prototypical cop-buddy action (as opposed to comedy) film. Better than ’48 Hours’ because Nick Nolte kinda sucks.
Even the soundtrack is good…Eric Clapton does what he does best- play some really cool notes without having to actually construct a song out of them.
Why, then, is it not rated even higher?
There’s a limit to how good cop-buddy action films can be.
