Classic action film.

Bruce Willis and Damon Wayans. The combination worked really well for this movie. Bruce Willis stars as Joe Hallenbeck, who was once a top of the line Secret Service agent but has since become an alcoholic, flea bag detective. While performing the chores of a two bit shamus, he discovers his wife Sarah (Chelsea Field) is having an affair with his best friend. Joe is hired to protect Cory (Halle Berry), a stripper who has been getting death threats; Joe begins to sober up when Cory is blown to smithereens. Cory's boyfriend, Jimmy Dix (Damon Wayans), was at one time a NFL football quarterback, but was thrown out of the game for gambling and addiction to Demerol.
This plot line is great, and while there are some flaws in the build up, the movie itself is a lot of fun. Plenty of action, and the back and fourth between Wayans and Willis is perfect.
