Truly Dreadful Film
RipDelight
This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

This true crime story focuses in the murder of a state trooper who had a good inkling of stopping suspicious vehicles that occurred in 1981.Nicholas Turturro plays an enthusiastic young cop who was the partner of the murdered trooper and reluctantly teams up with arrogant FBI agent, Adam Arkin to find the culprits who are traced to be members of a left wing domestic underground terrorist group involved in robberies and blowing things up.The film benefits with familiar faces such as Miguel Ferrer, Stephen Root, Dean Norris and future Oscar winner Melissa Leo.The story is rather generic, an upset and eager cop going after the bad guys who killed his partner, teamed up with a more aloof FBI agent. Even the bad guys who do not want to kill ordinary people even cops but one of them is trigger happy leading to devastating results.At least the terrorists were more interesting as a whole with a focus on their families and mores.

Really even though as one reviewer says that the terrorists despite being what they were, despite doing wrong and were in need of being brought to justice. Came off with sympathy and had families that they wanted to feed. Even though you weren't suppose to sympathize with them.It is the arrogant attitude of the feds that ruined the movie for it seems people like m.Arkin's arrogant agent, as all federal agents that Hollywood makes them out to be butted heads with state cop Turturro. As he threatened to arrest Turturro but Arkin was really interfering into not letting Turuturro do his job.Even though it started out with them butting heads, Arkin realized he needed the state cop's help and in the end, they worked out well. As Turturro knows the place and if they had an agent that was from there, it might had helped despite Arkin's character being from Boston.Really it proved it was the typical cops vs feds stuff. Not good but not bad.

It's a TV movie,you should expect that there aren't going to be mind-blowing special effects.And, to be honest, this movie is a bit weird in that the cops are relentlessly hunting "good bad guys." The "terrorists" are a freedom front that wants to destroy the means of production of certain companies for political reasons, but they try to make sure no one gets hurt (which, of course, backfires). So it's hard to "root for" the cops because the movie makes you sympathize with the terrorists and their families: ordinary people in almost every sense.Arkin and Turturo provide good performances...Stephen Root (also of Newsradio) is very good in a much different role than people are used to seeing him in. Miguel Ferrer is decent.

This movie was on one of those premium channels, the kind you have to pay extra for. The storyline read real good. After watching it for about 10 minutes it looked really cheaply made. Sure enough, this was nothing more than a TV Movie passed along as a real movie. The plot I have seen before many times in better movies. There was absolutely no chemistry between any of the actors who looked as though they had just read their lines just before walking on the set.
