Jack Reed: A Search for Justice

Starring and directed by ...brian dennehy. As he did with most of the jack reed chapters. He's detective reed, who isn't getting promoted because he busted some friends of the bigwigs at city hall. So when a stripper in a club wakes up dead, it's up to reed and his team to figure out who dunnit. Co-stars charles dutton and miguel ferrer. It's an overly-simple script, which makes me think either this was aimed towards a younger audience, or maybe it was just a weak script that needed a tune up. Some overacting by several actors. Everything is a big bombshell announcement. Conclusions that reed makes are a surprise to his subordinates, who should have known that too. And i refuse to believe that a detective's wife would go behind his back and interrogate witnesses like she did. Clearly she would know that she was screwing up the case. So who is tipping off the crooks of raids ahead of time? The script has some flaws, but the story is pretty compelling. Dennehy passed away right at the start of the pandemic in 2020... from sepsis, according to wikipedia dot org.
