The two police detectives investigate a drug-smuggling ring run by former soldiers, and slowly become friends. Mel Gibson and Danny Glover star.

Sinekatalog’s take

The film that made the buddy-cop action movie a Hollywood staple, with excellent stunts and a surprisingly dark core. Shane Black's script and the chemistry between the two leads keep it fresh.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
