[edit] Synopsis
This film opens with police officer Jimmy Mercer(Wesley Snipes) and co-star Dan Hedaya doing some undercover work, when Mercer's partner is shot and killed by a new man(Viggo Mortensen) that criminal Red Diamond(Dennis Hopper) pulled out of jail. Now on a snap of anger and thoughts of revenge, Mercer wants to find the killer and take him down before he gets transfered to another precinct. Although a cop and close colleauge claims over dinner that he must do it "by the book," Mercer replies that "when I'm done with this fucker, I'm gonna put his head in a box--by the book."
Red continues to try to go on a relationship with one of his old girlfriends but is shot-down. Through explosions and action, Mercer's temper rises with the suspense.
At a club which Mercer is at(at the same time as Mortensen and Hopper), Diamond's new man pulls-out his gun on the 2nd floor, to which Mercer quickly reacts by unloading all six rounds of his snubnose .38 into Mortensen. Red is arrested. Justice is served.
