one thing that is eerie about this film is the fact that it was made long before the whole LAPD crash unit down fall.thats why this movie is so interesting to watch.because of the parallels with current events.its not as cliched as everyone thinks.you have vigilante cops who is protected by the powewrs that be,judges,prosecuters etc etc.some of theses people....no let me rephrase that MOST of these people actually know of the wrong doing that the SIS is doing.innocent people gets killed but its the ends that justify the means for them.the sad fact was when dan vaughn was in the street at the end of the movie saying "they love us" meaning(the citizens)of LA.
he might be right some people see it as a necessery evil but alot don't. its hard to take well protected cops down like that.but its worth watching to see what happens to them when one of them speaks

On boy. Lou Diamond Phillips looks like a sissy with his girly-man hair. This supposed Special Unit goes driving around in unmarked cop cars easy to follow. The bad-guys spout the usual foul-mouthed street profanity. Ahhh--- the setups are really stupid. The cop-talk is worse than the perp talk. Oh well. Sucks. Don't bother with this, unless you take it out from a library.

I thought that this is a good movie if you are sick of crimials that get away with the crime. There are a lot of gun fire and they have a good cast. Lou Diamond is a very rough guy but he can be calm and nice when he wants to be.

This movie has all the stereotypical, flat characters of any renegade cop movie-- a hard-nosed female reporter, loose cannon rookie... even the dialogue is predictable. The only redeeming quality of this movie is how much fun it is to watch it with a big group of nerds shouting witty comments at the screen a la Mystery Science Theater.

I didn't care for this one. I got it because LDP was in it but he has better ones.Too much senseless violence.The acting was good but just not my kind of movie.

I have always [almost] admired Scott Glenn and Lou Diamond Phillips. But this story of rogue cops [and there may more reality than we care to admit] allowing the perps to commit the crime in order to have a justifiable killing is a bit gross.

As I contend, movies are just entertainment for the most part, but you sure love to hate these characters.

I normally don't like anything to happen to Scott's character but I thought he got justice done to him.

And yes, again, who made man God. Men like to think that their word is law but, boy, think again.

I guess I want to say, I am glad not to be in that position but the perps need a bit of chastizement barring innocent victims, let the vigilantes be killers and not protected law enforcers.

Ah well, this is not a movie for teen-agers [they already have tooo many ideas of their own and not all are practical]- for mature? audiences only.
