This movie stars Dennis Hopper as Detective Harry Niles ,whose nickname is Nails .He is a good cop with a bad attitude -a rough ,tough old school cop with a robust attitude to law breakers .His partner is ambushed and killed while working on a big case .Harry decides to administer his own brand of vigilante justice to the bad guys <br /> <br />There is a touch of Dirty Harry Callahan in the character of Harry Niles but the picture lacks the mythic resonanace of the Eastwood movie being an altogethrr less subtle and thoughful piece of work .Instead we get a slick action movie ,high on testosterone and low on subtlety .Hopper gives a quirky and idiosyncratic performance that gives the movie a boost and director John Flynn who made the superior modern noir The Outfit as well as streamlined actioners like Best Seller and Lock Up knows how to keep then action bubbling along nicely <br /> <br />Its a reasonable bet that if you like Hopper this movie will be to your taste .Just dont expect subtlety or liberal politics because neither are on display in a streamlined action picture
