Not a bad film if your a fan of 70's cop shows. The old L A, I visited and liked, back in the day when people move to L A is Relentless background. The California vibe, with a New York transplant cop is the story background. Relentless has the formulated detectives plot devices of the old police shows like Police Story, Streets of San Francisco etc! A renegade cop, rookie cop with veteran cop, screaming boss etc are the formulated 70's cop show devices. Red meat for the oldcop show fans like me. Kind of predictable, and formulated! There is a twist. Judd Nelson character is the strong point of Relentless as the audience understands the creation of the killer. A soul less, no confidence, creation of abuse. There is a strong twist with the ending, which is memorable. I like Relentless, it not a standout film but brings back memories of an old forgotten era. An old V H S date night rental, when I was first dating my wife! Very 80's Not great but the veridic from the date night was my wife said just another cop movie, but I liked it. 7 stars.
