Standout Aspects

Acting

George Dzundza devouring scenery as the sweaty villain sheriff.

Production

That unmistakable 1989 TV-movie haze and synth stings.

Best for:Background: Fold laundry while half-watching corrupt cops be corrupt.·Solo: Nostalgia trip for when TV movies tried to be Serpico.
Heads up:Violence: Police brutality played straight, not critiqued as much as you'd want.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Rick Schroder was 19 here, desperately pivoting from Silver Spoons heartthrob to serious actor—this was his 'I can scowl too!' era.

Cultural

This aired on CBS in 1989 when networks still made 'important' TV movies about systemic issues, then forgot them by morning.
