action

Police Detective Gino Felino serves on the drug division of the New York City Police Department . He lives in Brooklyn and is in divorce from his wife Vicky. One day, apparently for no reason, his best friend and colleague Bobby Lupo is shot dead by the well-known drug dealer Richie Madano on the street and in front of his wife. Filled with feelings of revenge, Gino goes in search of Richie, who is also an old friend from his youth, in order to kill him. But Richie is now completely freaked out and, among other things, shoots a completely uninvolved person just because he became annoying. Then Richie and three accomplices go on a pleasure tour through the nightlife of Brooklyn.

Gino fights himself on the hunt for the mad criminal with the thugs set on him and they suffer serious injuries. Subsequently, the pursuit of Richies turns into a gauntlet between the mafia , who used to do business with Richie, the bar where Richie often hung out, Richie's family up to his girlfriend who finds Gino murdered. Gino does not find out the whereabouts, but one learns about Richie's motives during a visit to Bobby Lupo's widow. Bobby was corrupt and helped Richie with his criminal business. So he had access to his world and finally had an affair with Richie's girlfriend Roxanne. When his wife found out about it, she sent Richie a picture of the two in a clear pose whereupon Richie went crazy and killed both of them.

When Richie also sends a raid to Gino's wife and child, in whose firefight all the gangsters are killed by Gino, Gino does everything in his power to bring Richie down. He tracks him down in the house of a former prostitute , where he is having a party with his accomplices and other gangsters. Gino storms the house, kills everyone who gets in his way, and the decisive battle ensues. Since Richie - under drugs - is not an opponent to be taken seriously, Gino initially only beats him with his fists and various objects to make him suffer a little. In the end, Gino kills Richie by ramming a corkscrew into his head.

A few Mafiosi who also want Richie's death, including one who has known Gino personally for a long time, arrive at the ex-prostitute's house immediately after Richie dies. Gino agrees with the mafioso that he can reap the laurels for everything if he lets Richie's corpse disappear.

You can later see how Gino has reconciled with his wife and takes her on a trip to the harbor. There he notices a car from which a heartless person threw a puppy while driving the day before. When Gino confronts the driver and he gets palpable, Gino gives him a targeted kick in the genitals. In the final scene you can see how the puppy, who has meanwhile been adopted by Gino, urinates in the face of the driver who is lying on the ground and Gino is already calling him a police dog.

Reviews

Richard Harrington wrote in the Washington Post (April 17, 1991) that the film looked cheap despite the high budget. Some elements of the plot are supposed to show the gentle side of Seagal, which doesn't work out right. The characters of Madano's helpers were played by "B-actors".

"Elaborate and technically more excellent, but disgusting in its raw vengeance mentality, which, not least of all, is only tailored to the end-use violence, not least through rigorous cuts."
