Did I not like this entry into the Police Story canon. From its cardboard cut out characters and blasts of cheesey eighties muzac, this mullarkey was way below what acting legend, Jack Warden ("Twelve Angry Men") should've been involving himself in.
The scenes between Jack Warden and the dreadfully hammy John D'Aquino pretty much summed up for me, why I couldn't stand this piece of @rap and had to give up watching after forty five minutes. The Warden character was a cliche and gave him nothing to work with, and he was surrounded by real hams, so even Warden's presence couldn't rescue this televisual turd. An average episode of "Hill Street Blues" would be far better viewing than this.
As if totally unlikeable, unbelievable, two-dimensional characters weren't bad enough, the makers felt the need for lots of "atmospheric" scene setting shots with loud blasts of 1980s muzac with lots of caterwauling saxophones. The difference between this episode and "Slow Boy" couldn't have been more stark.
