I had never heard of this movie before it was released on VHS. I have no idea why it is so hard to find. This is the only DVD release I have ever found that is playable in the US. <br /> <br />Don't be afraid! THIS IS THE ORIGINAL ENGLISH LANGUAGE MOVIE, WITHOUT ANY ALTERATIONS! IT IS PLAYABLE ON ANY STANDARD US DVD PLAYER! It is simply labled for sale in Korea. <br /> <br />This may be Dabney Coleman's best movie ever. Coleman plays Bert Simpson, a cop who's days from retirement and has just been told he's terminally ill. So now he's desperate to die in the line of duty so his family can have the insurance money. Matt Frewer does a great supporting role as Ernie(Bert and Ernie - hah!)the bewildered side-kick who's just as desperate to find out why his straight-laced, take-no-chances partner has gone on a suicidal rampage. <br /> <br />Bert also manages to rediscover why life is worth living, reinventing himself as a husband, father and friend along the way. This movie may not be considered one of Hollywood's shining moments, but it is definitely very good entertainment. <br />
Viewer Reviews I like watching some of these older films for bits and pieces of how life was viewed when it came out. The video was entertaining.
