Since spilling the beans,... Homicide detective Tom Hardy, a fifth generation Pittsburgh cop, is paying dearly for testifying against his partner (and cousin) Jimmy Detillo in a police brutality case. Since spilling the beans, life has been hell for Hardy, and it gets worse when a serial killer murders his chief of homicide father. To top it all off, he's practically kicked off the force for insisting his father's murderer is a cop. Two years later, Hardy's been demoted to the river rescue squad, and all this trauma has almost driven him to an alcoholic state. The black-sheep of the fraternal force, Hardy receives little encouragement from his team-playing uncle Nick Detillo, who has been promoted to chief since his brother's death. But as the killer's body count gets higher, Tom gets closer and closer to the truth. [More]

Reviews for Striking Distance
One of Bruce Willis' most disposable and formulaic action potboilers. I'm a big fan of the Willis, and even I have no patience for "Striking Distance."
A troubled production (reshoots, release-date postponements) that turned out to be surprisingly watchable.
Like the box of generic corn flakes, Striking Distance isn't so terrible, but you'll forget it the second you're done with it. [Blu-ray]
