YOU DON'T LOOK IMMUNE

Warning: Spoilers
Ray (Nick Nemeth) is an unorthodox Seattle detective who makes his own rules. He gets suspended by Lt. Julia Baker (Katharine Isabelle) while pending an investigation which will lead to his termination. While he laments over the loss of his son three years ago, he gets a call back concerning a child kidnapped by the Russian Mafia and has a bomb strapped to him demanding a $2 million $112. 35 ransom. They specifically want him. Ray is not reinstated and is tailed by Baker to report on any breaches of conduct. With the clock ticking on the boy, Ray goes very rogue and drags Baker into his antics.

This is a modern day "Dirt Harry" type of story. Instead of a crazy guy, it is a Russian, and instead of a little girl being buried, it is a boy with a bomb, but you get the idea. Katharine Isabelle was excellent in her role providing a subtle sexuality and good chemistry with Nick Nemeth. Action with a good blend of humor and drama.

This is a good film for those who like a vigilante cop film without any heavy thinking.

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity. Expected violence/killing.
