Plot
David Brockman, a hip young black police detective, uncovers a suspicious link between three recent murders and an unsolved, 15-year old cold case involving the theft of The Third Star of Africa diamond.
Desperate for a lead, he seeks the reluctant assistance of gruff Les Kabalski, the now retired police officer who investigated the diamond case - the only case he never solved. This unlikely pair strikes up a strange partnership full of arguments about love, life and the law.
High-powered action mixes with high-spirited comedy (Brockman's quicksilver tongue often gets him into trouble with killers, cuties and other police officers) as the two men follow a deadly trail of murders through a contemporary Los Angeles of transvestites and midget wrestlers, capped by some hair-raising car chases.[3]
Reception
Don Shirley of the Los Angeles Times gave the movie a negative review.[4]
