A Harvard educated man decides to become a police officer and is demoted to desk duties takes on a crooked high powered executive involved in criminal activity. Along the way he gets involved with a drug addict where they help each other to find the right path in life. The executive sets up the police officer for the death of his wife as pay back for putting his son behind bars. With help from connections to the underworld he is able to do battle against the businessman to the death. It's a good old fashion police action movie that I enjoyed watching. I would recommend this movie.

Jericho "Action" Jackson is a Detroit police sergeant who was demoted from lieutenant for almost tearing the arm off of sexually violent sociopath Sean Dellaplane, whose father is Peter Dellaplane, a major car manufacturer. But Dellaplane himself is violent as well. Dellaplane kills his wife Patrice by shooting her. And then he plants her body in Jackson's apartment, framing Jackson. Dellaplane won't miss Patrice very much, because he has a drug addicted mistress named Sydney Ash. He keeps Sydney hooked with a free supply of heroin. Jackson suspects Dellaplane of masterminding a murder spree against local officials from the auto workers' union. Dellaplane's mission is to gain a political power base and choose the next president of the United States. Because of what happened to Dellaplane's son Sean, Dellaplane has taken a particular dislike to Jackson. Jackson gets Sydney's help in going after Dellaplane. The violence in this movie is brutal and efficiently directed, the action sequences spectacular. If you can appreciate movies from the '80s, this one will be a welcome addition to any collector's library.Read full review
Thank goodness, I was able to purchase this particular DVD without being forced to get a 3 movie disc I didn't want especially since I had 2 of the other movies already. The movie, itself is a classic, starring the late great sexy Vanity (Denise Katrina Matthews 1959-2016) may she rest in paradise and ever ladies' man, Carl Weathers. Almost 31 years later, this movie is still a favorite of mine!!! I recommend that anyone, young or old, to try to get this movie!!

This movie was one of the first great action movies. I like the fact that after "Rocky" I thought he was done, but to see him come out with such a action packed thiller renewed my faith in hero's. There is really nothing that I disliked about this movie except that they didn't make a part 2. I feel like this movie should be in everyone's collection of great action hero movie's. To me it's rated right up there with a " Friday, Scarface, Ghostbuster's and any other great classic. I got mines, now get yours.
