Above the Law (1988)

A cop investigates a drug dealer and finds that he may be connected to corrupt government agents. A senator and a priest are potential targets of this criminal organization.

Dialogue and drama is very dumbed down and the action sequences are well staged. The concept of a maverick cop defying corruption is an extremely enduring filmic lineage which apparently developed without any real-life counterpart. In a very minimum sense, it is done with competence.

Saw it dubbed in Portuguese.
