Synopsis

Cop drama meets romance: This intense thriller is about a police officer who shoots his best friend (who also wears a badge) while on the job. His buddy is permanently paralyzed, and the incident raises eyebrows around the precinct. Was it an accident, or did this detective's feelings for his pal's wife cause him to cross the line? Only true super sleuths will figure it out before the end!

Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Logan Dodd There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.
coachem This is one of the most disappointing movies I have ever seen, mainly because of the ending. Even though there were a lot of weak spots in the movie, I still had some hopes that it could be saved with a good ending. Even though the best friend's comments early in the movie made it clear what his feelings were, the plot allowed him to realize them through his own misdeeds. The husband's choice at the end made absolutely no sense. There were so many options that were available to him, and his choice was the least palatable. The final shot of the movie was the last straw, and had me shouting obscenities that I had wasted my time watching this movie. I watched it this morning on a cable network and I feel very disappointed that I allowed this movie to ruin my whole day.
bpeck13 A movie about a married couple and their best friend.Michael (Costas Mandylor) and Peter (Adam Baldwin) are cops. In a take-down, Peter accidentally shoots Michael and he may never walk again. Rumors fly—was it an accident? Did Peter do it to get Jill (whom he is secretly in love with)? Michael struggles with his own emotions but in the process, he shuts Jill (Alexandra Paul) out. Then he comes to terms with the situation, and gives Peter and Jill his blessing.Slow at times, but overall a good movie. Shows a lot of human emotions that sometimes conflict with each other. Make sure you have a box of Kleenex handy.
Violet Weed This is a very poorly written movie. A police officer accidentally shoots his partner/best friend and paralyzes him. The movie fades from there to nothing. It is obvious that whoever wrote the story worships the physical aspects of life, and nothing more. The paralyzed cop refuses to touch his young wife after the accident. Why? Because he's a 'poor little me'. He basically pushes his wife onto the partner who shot him, and she goes, willingly. Well, folks, if that is all you think life is... sex and physicality... you're emotionally somewhere between 15 and 19 years old. Because that's NOT all there is! If the paralyzed cop really loved his wife he would honor his covenant with her. He still had full use of his arms, and they do make 'devices' for paraplegics that makes sex possible.But there is so much more to life than sex and youthful physical exuberance. This movie was a MAJOR letdown and I am sorry I watched (okay, I was working on my book at the time, so thankfully I only 'half'watched it.) Don't waste your time with this movie. It doesn't begin to explore what it could have explored. The 'for better or for worse' aspects of the marriage covenant. True friendship. The guy who shot his partner could have done penance by building the house the paralyzed guy wanted to build for his wife. The wife could have understood her husband's pain and fear and with unconditional love, overcome both. The paralyzed husband could have understood that 'no man is an island' and reached out to his wife and his best friend for help. People need to be needed more than they need to be loved. Giving and receiving. Receiving and giving. The writer COULD have explored the complexities of life and love, man and woman, but alas!, he couldn't think past his biceps and gonads. Too bad. If I ever meet him, I'm gonna kick him in the .... cause he wasted an hour of my time! (okay, 30 minutes, as I was only half-watching this pile of horse manure.)
francineamick hi, Will someone please explain to me what happened at the end of the movie? I heard gunshots and then saw the husband walk and then there was the best friend with the wife!!!!!!!!!! Did I miss something? Thanks so much for not LOL (if you aren't) This is my first time that I used this website, and it seems like all the information that I would need to get "inside" the movie is all right in front of me and I will indeed lead my "movie buff" friends to your website so they can find out on their own what a informative and exciting and fresh website that I did not know was available until today. Who would ever think that with a click on my computer that I could go all the back in time to get the information about a movie that no one knew was even made. Thank you very much for taking the time for all us movie lovers whether old or new. It really is a treat. Fran
