One thing about this film is the economy of characters; none is wasted. Near the beginning, Jack Cole helps disarm a distraught kid, and later that kid becomes a key element in a larger investigation.
Cole, an unorthodox cop, is asked to testify about the kid's troubled behavior by his stepfather, but the request is by proxy, and Cole declines. So naturally, this displeases the powerful and influential stepfather, and what do you know! Cole becomes "of interest" in the murder of somebody he'd be a logical suspect of killing.
So Cole has to clear his name, and drags his reluctant (and new) partner, Jim Campbell, along for the ride.
As with many Seagal films, there's a lot of violent action, with corpses scattered in the wake of Jack Cole's progress. For the observant viewer, there are holes one could drive a 16-wheeler through, but that doesn't detract from the film's perverse charm.
Not his best, but not bad
