    I am sure that I watched this one, but I couldn't pick this out of any other cop movie that I have watched over the years.

    Wow, been meaning to watch this film for a long time. Finally got it done. Great movie. 44 minutes of action. Whether is was a made for tv movie, which I suspect, or not, it?s well done all around. Neat, positive portrayal of police officers in general and the LA PD in particular.
