Pretty unoriginal plot involving an undercover cop getting to hooked with his target and enjoying the car theft lifestyle. Surprisingly the film isn't half bad for a dumb action crime flick with Sheen as the main smooth guy, Sheen to be honest is perfect for the role of the playboy type creep who steals Porches for a
living whilst Sweeney is a little weak but looks the part as a young inexperienced cop.Nothing really exciting happens in the film but there are some nice sequences involving the stealing of Porches and of course plenty of classic 80's German cars on display both in chase sequences and just as car porn hehe Randy Quaid and Bill Duke make up the rest of the classic old school line up, neither are that interesting but it all adds that retro charm, the same goes for the whole film really, nothing too amazing but a steady solid little crime thriller with nice performances, nice cars, a predictable plot, fair direction and perhaps alittle precursor to the 'Fast n Furious' franchise without the flashy glitz.
