The most inept undercover cop ever (SPOILERS)


I own this movie. It is very entertaining and I dig the director. He did other classics like I COME IN PEACE and ACTION JACKSON.

However, Huff/Stone was supposed to do a few things:

-Get a witness (she died)
-Nail bad guys during a drug buy (he destroyed 1 000 000$ worth of confiscated dope)
-Prevent an assassination on the DA (that failed miserably)

So this has to be the worst cop ever.

Still a most entertaining movie.

Lol I never thought of it this way. You make good points however.

Nah, Keanu Reeves' character in Point Break, Johnny Utah, easily beats Huff here in the ineffectual department. Dude literally doesn't accomplish a thing and gets a ton of people killed in the process.

Well at least Stone looked good doing it. With his two toned, partially shaved mullet, grown up Bam Bam looking self.

<snort>

😝😱😁


No two persons ever watch the same movie.

Although you are technically right, Stone did accomplish the main goal (and then some). The entire biker gang was completely wiped out.

reply

Yeah, but if I recall, the FBI wanted to go in and bust them way before, but Stone wanted to stay undercover. The end result was a massacre of government officials, pure carnage at the courthouse, and zero arrest. He essentially accomplished nothing.

reply

It didn't matter, because in the end he killed all the bad guys, innocent lives lost be damned. Why? He's stone cold. :P

reply

There were zero arrests because they were all dead. Watch the movie again.

He infiltrated a violent one percenter biker club. Things went south and he did what he had to do.

Boz kicked ass in this action movie. He got the bad guys at the end. The hero won.

Underrated.

reply

He'd be lucky if he doesn't end up in prison himself after a clusterfuck of that magnitude. The governor is dead, multiple judges are dead, probably a fuck ton of innocent bystanders, and that courthouse was a ruin. The bad guys all dying would not overshadow all that.

This is not a situation that's gets the cop involved a medal and a handshake. Boz and probably three rungs of FBI leadership above him are all about to be sitting in front of a grand jury getting reamed.

We would have a sequel nearly identical to Riki-O if that happened. Give the man a transfer on a plane and the shit gets up there with CON air and Snakes on a plane.

reply

It's best not to overanalyze this action film. Yeah, the ending was overdone. If you can overlook that it was a good movie.

Outstanding cinematography and a good depiction of then one percenter bikers' world. Underrated imo.

So this wasn't a WWE documentary?
