The river police are not usually known for their on-screen heroics, but this ripsnorting Bruce Willis vehicle certainly puts them on the map. Willis plays his usual hard-nosed loner, who here finds himself relegated to the unfashionable water cops (and partnered with Sarah Jessica Parker) when he breaks ranks and testifies against a policeman who also happens to be a member of his family. However, a serial killer with an unhealthy interest in Willis's life offers the chance of redemption. The aptly named Rowdy Herrington ensures the action roars along and that the set pieces are suitably big and brash, while the exemplary supporting cast — John Mahoney, Dennis Farina, Tom Sizemore and Robert Pastorelli — can't be faulted.

Not Bruce's best. By a long shot.
In the first scene you can tell it's old and looks very predictable.
I had to pause the movie many times to make a coffee.
It's everything but predictable.
A young Sarah Jessica Parker helps to make the movie more enjoyable but is still corny in places.
Striking Distance looks older then it actually is but is worth a watch.
If you like Bruce, you MUST watch 'Tears of the Sun' -
