Viewing Notes
A good, fast-moving cop thriller and so 1980’s: the clothes, the music, the color palette.
The cinematography by the great Robby Muller is beautiful. The Wang Chung music gives the film a very propulsive energy, but also kinda made me think of BEVERLY HILLS COP.
Great car chase and a young Willem Dafoe is a very charismatic villain.
