Storyline

A San Francisco, California detective (Sam Elliott) goes wild when he discovers his partner dead and the presumed culprit standing over him. After beating the man to death, he comes to his senses and realizes that he has to get rid of the body of the beaten man. Dumping the man in the river, he returns to his partner's body and calls in the death. He is then given a new partner (Esai Morales) and is assigned to investigate the death of a man just pulled from the river causing all the expected problems. However, the investigation leads to police corruption and his own partner's involvement in drug running. Written by John Sacksteder <jsackste@bellsouth.net>

Generic cop movie #1,329

5 October 2003 | by movieman_kev – See all my reviews

Where have i seen this movie before?? Oh yea, i remember now, pretty much EVERY other cop movie ever made!! For every "Narc", there's about 20 "Dog Watch" type films made. Insanely predictable, tedious & a chore to sit through. If it wasn't for the Great Sam Elliot, I would have turned it off within the first 15 minutes (if not earlier)

My Grade: D+

Eye Candy: Various strippers (mostly in the background)
