At the Presidio, the Army base in San Francisco, a female MP was conducting her rounds when she came across the officer's club and the door had been forced open. She went to investigate and was shot. The individuals who broke in got into their car and drove and what followed was high speed chase that got both the Army MP's and the San Francisco police involved, which ended badly for both. Jay Austin, a San Francisco Police detective, is sent to investigate and he is met by Lt. Colonel Caldwell, who was his commanding officer, when he was an MP on the Presidio. It seems that Austin tried to arrest an Army officer but didn't follow procedures and Caldwell didn't support him. And the murdered MP was Austin's partner. A preliminary investigation casts suspicion on the officer Austin tried to arrest.
A San Francisco civilian police detective is forced to work on a series of murders with his former enemy commanding officer while dating his daughter.
Sean Connery reunites with his "Outland" director, action maestro Peter Hyams, but this simple-minded action flick is a pretty inauspicious entry in the buddy-buddy genre (already over-populated with films like 48 Hours, Lethal Weapon, Running Scared, et al). What makes The Presidio doubly disappointing is that it was the film Sean Connery made immediately after his Oscar-winning turn in The Untouchables. To see the big Scot go from something so fine to something so indifferent feels a bit anti-climactic.
The Presidio - America's oldest active military base, located in San Francisco - is the scene of the slaying of a female military police officer. Old-fashioned army hard-nut Lt-Col Caldwell (Connery) wants to investigate the death as a military enquiry, but is annoyed when the San Francisco P.D. pull rank on him and stipulate that their own detective, Jay Austin (Mark Harmon), must also be allowed to join the hunt for the killers. The situation is aggravated by the fact that Austin was formerly a soldier under Caldwell's command, but a clash of interests between the pair of them resulted in Austin's resignation. As the mismatched duo close in on the truth - involving diamond smuggling, of all things - Austin further jeopardises his already volatile relationship with Caldwell by falling for the Lt-Col's sexy daughter Donna (Meg Ryan).
The film is predictable and unimaginative stuff, with little to make the viewer see why Connery chose to lend his talents to it. Hyams adds some of his customary chase sequences and action set-pieces, but no amount of slick surface-glitz can disguise the staleness of this story. The most memorable moment involves Connery beating up a loud-mouthed bully using only his thumbs, but even though the scene is quite funny it loses some of its appeal when one reflects how physically implausible it is. Harmon's performance seems to have been rather heavily criticised by commentators here on the IMDb but, while it's true that his character is boring and he plays it with indifference, he does at least look quite at home during the action interludes. The Presidio is not really worth seeking out, not even for a rainy day, though fans of Connery might want to catch it just once so that they can tick it from their list.
This movie has all the makings of a grade B TV police show except for some exceptional actors in the form of Sean Connery, Meg Ryan, Mark Harmon and Jack Weston, who do an excellent job bringing some belief to their roles. In fact this is my number one complaint about the movie: unbelievability. I can accept the basic premise of two characters who dislike each other being forced to work together to solve a crime. That one of them has a beautiful daughter in the form of Meg Ryan starts the ball of disbelief rolling. Meg forces Mark Harmon to chase her in a classic Corvette convertible, driving like a maniac. Who would treat a classic car that way? When the men begin to work together, we hear such original lines as "you can ride along with me if you like" and "Why don't we stop for some coffee?" Yeah, right, two guys who really hate each other. (Was there a strike of the Writer's Guild during this movie?) But there's more: The officer who caused the falling out between the lead characters just happens to be a major suspect now and bad guy. The Medal of Honor character (Jack Weston) who is the best friend of Sean Connery turns out to be a bad guy, but finds his conscience in the end. Jay Austin (Mark Harmon) goes from MP to SFPD detective. (What a meteoric rise.) And he just happens to be uninvolved with any other female when he meets Meg Ryan. (Well, I guess this is San Francisco.) Even the underlying plot begs belief. The murder of the female MP was caused by the diamond smuggler leaving the diamonds at the Presidio's Officer Club, then breaking in at night to retrieve them. However, the water bottle that held the diamonds had a special holder. How could one be so careless? Did the MP really have to die in the first place?
As usual, Hyams makes good use of the locations, and stages the stunt sequences with great skill, but his handling of the romance and father/daughter conflicts is at best uncertain, at worst embarrassing.
The sex scene between Jay and Donna is longer in the Unrated Version. The latter hasn't been released in the States yet but can be found on the German DVD. a5c7b9f00b
