Rita Rizzoli (
Whoopi Goldberg) is a crusading narcotics cop assigned to track down the source of some killer crack cocaine in this pretentious and preachy anti-drug crime drama. Rita poses as a prostitute and is soon hot after two small-time hoods (
Brad Dourif and Mike Jolly) who murder their way up the drug-dealing ladder in hopes of becoming kingpins.
Cheech Marin and Catherine Blore provide interesting cameos in this feature that co-stars Ruben Blades and
Sam Elliott. Contains stereotypical characters and gratuitous violence. ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide
