He tells the guards to call his father, the mayor, who will have him released; however, he soon discovers his father has been killed. After Turner finally gets out of jail, he starts to hunt down his father's murderer, with the eventual help of Annie Rayford (Ally Sheedy) and her brother Joey (David Caruso). Their nemesis is the nasty crime boss Perry Kerch (Scott Wilson) and his henchmen, though the slow-witted police chief (Paul Winfield) is not much help, either. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Walter Chaw, Film Freak Central
Suggesting that Judd Nelson is gay as a French holiday is only mildly wittier than suggesting the same of clearly gay Tom Cruise.
James Sanford, Kalamazoo Gazette
A dull disaster from start to finish
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice
A wobbly and rather lame adaptation of a Ross MacDonald murder mystery
