That rare action comedy where the highlight is watching two people fall in love. Richard Dreyfus plays a wily cop assigned to monitor the ex-girflriend (Stowe) of a cop killer (Quinn). He unexpectedly falls for her and comedic hi-jinks arise when he has to keep his assignment secret from her and their romance secret from his colleagues. There really isn't much action in the plot, aside from a fairly grim opening and a good car chase in the second act. Aiden Quinn plays the heavy and tries his best Willem Dafoe impression. Only he's not that threatening to be honest. Madeleine Stowe is alluring as the love interest. Dreyfus once more proves himself a capable leading man adept for comedy, romance, and action beats.
