Striking DistanceWith Herrington as co-writer and director, immediately after boxing and kung fu movies, and our Bruce as an alcoholic cop, there are few surprises here for any audience in the know. Willis plays Hardy, a Pittsburgh policeman who has been demoted to river patrol for making waves by suggesting that his dead police chief father was the victim of a fellow officer. When he's assigned a partner his temper gives way to abusive male chauvinism at the prospect of sharing his boat with the shapely Jo (Parker). But all that's forgotten as corpses, suspects, chases and scary moments pile one upon the other to the surprise conclusion. Park the brain and just go along for the ride.
