Top Cop

From b-movie producers and makers of quite a lot of dreck, Crown International, comes this cop cliché-fest. In it, we have, wait for it...a cop who doesn't play by the rules. His boss is...an angry black police chief who constantly shouts at him from behind a desk. Top Cop's partner is...killed in action by drug-based villains. So, the chief foists a new partner on him...a wet behind the ears rookie out of college. Our top cop doesn't like it but he's just going to have to take it. From the above synopsis you can see that this one is cheerfully derivative of 80's action tropes. The guy who plays the top cop - who I wouldn't be surprised to learn was a wrestler - is a one note actor. He navigates the entire movie with a face like fizz. Also notable is the score, which like so many from the era is a tinny nightmare. This is a film which, like the title character, gets the job done but with a minimum of effort.
