Storyline
On her first day on the job, NYPD officer Megan Turner, the lone officer on the scene, shoots and kills the perpetrator of a supermarket hold-up. Since no gun was found on the perpetrator's person or at the scene and none of the witnesses could corroborate Megan's story definitively that the perpetrator was indeed wielding a gun, she is suspended from active duty. She is quickly albeit temporarily reinstated to the position of homicide detective because the spent shell casing from the bullet used in a subsequent murder had her name carved on it. This murder ends up being only the first in a series. Working on the case with fellow homicide detective Nick Mann, Megan initially has no idea who in her life could be the murderer. In short order, the murderer does show himself to her. He is commodities trader Eugene Hunt who she met immediately following her suspension and who she has since dated. He also implies to her that he was in the supermarket at the time of the hold-up and that he ... Written by Huggo

Unless its me, I can't believe how unrealistic this movie is. I've seen of Curtis' other movies and this has to be the worst. It's ridiculous to see the lack of realism in this. Don't waste your time. I can't believe I sat through it, hmm maybe because there was nothing else on at 3 am. Maybe because it was made in the 1990's thats why it was thought to be good. I guess movies have come a far way since then, because this movie would've flopped if it were release in 2005. It might have been for a cable movie instead. If I were a NYPD police officer, I would've laughed at the nonsense that went on in this film. Yea its a movie, but come on.
