Plot
Summary: Ray Pluto has horrid memories
of watching his wife and child die in a traffic accident.
He's also a cop who's the laughingstock of New York
City because his back went out while trying to stop
a mass murderer - who was then shot by a child. For
his back, he gets help from a chiropractor. Meanwhile,
a teenager hires thugs to kill her father, who's the
super in Ray's apartment building. In the same building,
two young men are writing a movie script. Can Ray
get past his grief to solve the assault on the super
and also return the affections of the chiropractor?
Comments:
Story
of a cop (Dennis Leary) fumbling in his career and
then gets involved with solving a crime in his own
apartment complex. For some reason Leary and Elizabeth
Hurley have a romantic involvement in the movie. It
is sort of a Dromedy. In my mind...mostly a comedy
but with a dramatic plot. Dennis Leary and Elizabeth
Hurley are the main stars...and Leary is above average
and Hurley is simply average. It is unfortunate Steve
Buscemi didn't have more of a role. But the story
is pretty interesting and it is funny in parts (with
the exception of the Leary/Hurley relationship sub-plot).
By this virtue it is better than 95% of other movies
that are out there and thus worth seeing but not getting
your hopes up too much. Leary and Buscemi should do
more films. Hurley should simply be a model....or
perhaps just start playing Goldie Hawn like roles
(i.e. purposefully ditsy).
