What a shame this movie never got its credits it deserved and that is only on rare broadcastings that we can see the magic of this thriller. The movie already starts with close ups from bullets and we already know that the viewer will be confronted with some real strong violence.... It's all about Megan Turner (Jamie Lee Curtis) who despite of the disliking of her father decides to become a cop in New York.Megan is the kind of cop who still believes in naivity...ready to save the world but the day she got her badge she also discovers the corruption of it. While her mate is going for a coffee she witnesses how a criminal makes a hold up in a supermarket. Convinced she has to do her duty she slips alone in the backalley but cant stop the man shooting and of course it ends with a dead body and that on her first day... And what's more the gun he pulled was stolen by a "visitor". The head of the police sends Turner home as she was handling without the mind of a real cop, but then the story begins... A day later a passenger is killed with the stolen weapon and with bullets in where the name of Megan Turner is carved. Megan has all reasons to go after the psycho (which is brilliantly played by Ron Silver!) but she never can guess that the criminal she's looking for is her lover.... That's a bit in a nutshell as the story is far too complicated and that's the strongness of this pictures, it jumps the viewer from surprise to surprise and everytime we must see the lunatic face of Silver who is believed by everyone just because he is a well respected businessman. Jamie Lee Curtis is sexier than never before and her appearance in this stunning thriller is perhaps one of her finest, an absolutely masterpiece that cant be missed by any copmovielover.
