Tom Hardy comes from a family of cops and has just broken the cardinal rule -- never speak out against another cop -- which now makes him persona non grata with the other cops. Presently there's a serial killer on the loose and when Tom and his father and some other cops corner him, a big chase ensues and when it is over Tom's father is dead, supposedly killed by the perp. Later a suspect is brought in whom Tom doesn't believe is the one but most of the cops just don't want to believe him or think that his objective is clouded. Eventually he is drummed out and the only position he could get is at river rescue. Two years later he still sticks to his beliefs and apparently the killer is back but nobody believes him and some people think that he is copy-catting the killer.
A serial killer is back in Pittsburgh to torment the former homicide detective who was on his trail years before. Tom Hardy, who has been relegated to water-way duty, along with new partner Jo Christman, navigate the three rivers looking for clues and discovering bodies. This time the victims are women Tom knows, he must find the killer to prove his innocence.
Striking Distance starts out well, but only seems to get worse as it goes along. There are some good action and mystery elements but not too far into the movie, it begins to telegraph too many moves. For example, anytime that the viewer knows the probable ending 15 minutes into the movie, and anytime the viewer can figure out things that the central character can't, you know you have a movie with problems. There's an obvious red herring and other cheesy plot devices along with lines of dialogue that come off as unintentionally funny (not usually a good thing). The old standby "bad guy keeps coming back from the dead" scene at the end of the movie doesn't help either. Overall, I rated the movie a 5 out of 10, and some may say that was too kind. In a few years I may think the same thing.
No i just don't give 10 because of that, it's no way a classic but a fun entertaining piece of movie...
Bruce Willis tell in an interview that it's his worst film.... well why this and Mercury Rising who are very entertaining and different from his standard roles... maybe because it's different !
Let's see.... Willis must have said that sentence before making: Marauders, Precious Cargo, Extraction, Vice, The Prince , G.I. Joe: Retaliation, A Good Day to Die Hard, The Cold Light of Day, Lay the Favorite, Catch .44, Setup, Cop Out, Surrogates... maybe i forgot some...
In the 90s, Bruce Willis was a king, long before being an has been who can't make a good film anymore and make it because of the pay check... maybe except Red and Death Wish (who is coming soon).
In this film, it's violent, graphic some times, you get sex scenes... not a film for the kids. a real film for adults. and Rowdy Herrington (Road House, 1992 Gladiator) know that. He makes a film he want to watch with his wife or alone and have a good 90 minutes of film without thinking much.
I won't go too much in details, but i'm a big fan of art, style and substance. While, this film has been criticize.... for what ? Being different from the usual action/thriller film we get in theatres ? This feels like the critics has been paid. That's what I say when I see a good film with unfair critic, and see the same similar product made in another company who get 4 star ratings.... and lot of time, it's less good !!
Someone said it in the reviews: There is a original location (Pittsburgh), original occupation for male lead (river patrol), a story with great twists, one of the best car chase scenes ever, a great tugboat takeover scene with a cool shootout and timely humor, great performances by some really good actors: Sarah Jessica, Dennis Farina, Tom Sizemore and Robert Pastorini. There is no reason why anyone would not enjoy this underrated treasure. The music is also great especially the eerie "little Red Riding Hood". I loved the fact that it was set on a river, it is quite original in that regard. Sure Bruce played basically the role as he did in many of his films such as "Die Hard" and "The Last Boy Scout" (both excellent films) but I say if its not broke don't fix it. Pure Movie Gold: "Striking Distance" !!
Sorry bro to copy/paste what you have said about this underrated gem but i'm with you 100% and will continue to like and defend this film! Don't let the bad ratings fool you!
The original British police force was the Constabulary of Ireland founded in 1822 (later given the royal appointment and renamed the Royal Irish Constabulary). It formed the basis for all other British police forces in the UK and across the British Empire including London's Metropolitan Police (formed in 1829) whose first 2 commissioners were both Irishmen with the necessary prior experience, Palestine Police, Royal Canadian Mounted Police etc. This established a long tradition of law enforcement running in Irish families worldwide, especially as many RIC officers emigrated to America after the violence surrounding Ireland's partition in 1922 and joined police forces there. In addition during the 19th century many corrupt, Irish dominated local governments such as New York's infamous Tammany Hall would reward their supporters with lucrative civil service jobs in the police force and fire department, often using the former as an instrument of political power. a5c7b9f00b
