Storyline
Alan Masters is a despicable businessman with his hands in organized crime. He marries Diane, a kind and gentle woman, and abuses and batters her viciously. Sergeant John Reed has had enough of his city's organized crime and, against the wishes of his dirty-cop superiors, tries to get evidence against Alan Masters. After Alan finds out that Diane has been helping Reed, he beats her to death...and its up to John Reed to put him away for it, and clean up the dirty cops that want to stop him. Part I starts with Diane's death and then, in a flashback, details her struggles against abuse and Reed's struggles as he coaches her to gather evidence against Alan. Part II deals with Reed's struggles with intimidating cops. Written by Sam Hayes <gshayes@mail.gwi.net>

I enjoyed this one very much. It was the beginning, and I especially enjoyed the interaction between Reed and his wife. It was such a great contrast to the other men with their mistresses and dishonesty. The fact that Reed had had a long-past love made the character more interesting and the problem his wife had with that was understandable. Treat Williams did an excellent job as by the end of the movie, you literally hated the man and his angry outbursts. Made you wonder if he would stay alive in prison, with his cocky attitude and hair-trigger temper. In enjoying this one, it just made each following one better and I have enjoyed watching this one and all those that followed. A strong, big, but sensitive cop is my ideal of the best and Brian does a great job with it. He did a splendid job all round.
