In Queens, Mike Keegan is celebrating with his wife Ellie, his son Tommy and friends his recent promotion to detective in a precinct in Manhattan.
Meanwhile, in a fancy club, socialite Claire Gregory witnesses the murder of the owner of the place by powerful mobster Joey Venza.
Mike is assigned to protect her in the night shift in her apartment in Manhattan.
When Venza threatens Claire, the contact of Mike with Claire gets closer and conflicts him, dividing between the love for his family and the heat passion for Claire and the fascination for her world...
Ho Hum, coming from Scott I was expecting something more stylish than a few canapes and a Fine Young Cannibals soundtrack. It's not that the film is bad, it's just so slow and tiresome that it feels like you're watching an epic.
And it's the same old story. Rich woman witnesses a murder, gets a poorer cop to do the titular job, they fall for each other etc. etc.
the only thing thats missing is Billy Joels 'Uptown Girl' being played every five minutes, to remind people of the class divide.
So thanks for Berenger, Rogers, and Bracco for putting in such good performances, therwise this film would have sunk quicker than the Titanic. The chemistry between the three leads is so convincing, you would think that they were doing this for real.
So all on all it's the weakest Scott film i've seen, just lacking in involvement or proper narration.
