Dragnet (1987)

£0.00


Country: US
Technical: col 106m
Director: Tom Mankiewicz
Cast: Tom Hanks, Dan Aykroyd, Christopher Plummer

Synopsis:

Twenty years after Detective Sgt. Joe Friday patrolled the L.A. crime scene, his nephew comes onto the force, but his old-fashioned by-the-book approach sits uneasily alongside his happy-go-lucky partner.

Review:

Short of ideas in the 80s, Hollywood resurrected every TV show it could lay its hands on, and this was an average example of the Twilight Zone The Movie genre: turning it into a comedy and making Friday an anachronistic lunk may be preferable to a strait-laced imitation, but why bother at all?
