The well-worn cop thriller theme of two opposites having to work together despite not liking each other is given a military/civilian twist in this well-paced but curiously uninvolving film.

A military policeman is shot while checking out a break-in at the officers' club and civilian cop Jay Austin (Harmon) is called in to investigate.

An ex-soldier, he has to team up with his old commanding officer Alan Caldwell (Connery). Austin was discharged from the service for trying to arrest an officer, who (surprise, surprise) is a suspect in the murder case.

And Caldwell doesn't know it but Austin's also dating his daughter (Ryan).

Spirited performances from Connery and Ryan lift this film slightly above the yawn level, but it's a struggle for both of them. Harmon, on the other hand, is a little bland and doesn't quite convince.
