Viewing Notes
A completely ridiculous, highly entertaining buddy cop film set and shot in New York City. The whole 42nd street shootout/chase scene is great, as is the Coney Island foot chase. Just amazing to see all of these practical effects and stunt work right after having watched BLOODSHOT which is mostly CGI. Glickenhaus always entertains even if the plot makes no fucking sense at all!
