There's a new drug on the streets killing kids and junkies alike and a former junkie, present day cop Rita Rizzoli (Whoopi Goldberg) is on the case.
Goldberg has always been a mixed bag for me. When first renting out her movies back in the days I never recall thinking, wow - Whoopi is in this movie, gotta see it now!
Usually during the first twenty minutes watching her films I remember not caring too much for her. Then, somewhere during the mid movie I realise she's starting to grow on me and when the end credits roll I find myself thinking that movie could've possibly fallen into oblivion without her giving to it that special edge.
There's a lot of action and witty little incidents showing Rizzolli tightroping between being a no-nonsense cop and a woman in a male dominated profession. And to balance out that wittiness, there's also a parade of absolutely inane one-liners and non-witty remarks. Mind you, these remarks can be equally entertaining if you find the tacky value in them - and you should!
The movie is full of plot holes and inaccuracies, but if you are the kind of person to mind such things, you won't probably find much to like here anyway.
