Second viewing.
Two homicide cops, one grieving and suicidal over the loss of his wife, the other on his 50th birthday and looking ahead to a happy retirement, team up to investigate a high-class prostitute's death. They uncover a plot involving ex-CIA agents, Vietnam veterans and mercenaries, and large scale drug smuggling.
Action thriller which ably shifts from the main characters' personal dramas and their partnership problems to the criminal investigation they are pursuing. It is an image-oriented film, technically proficient, and, while perhaps not exactly innovative, entertaining enough and never dumb.
