Ed O'Neill's Popeye Doyle comes across as a combination of Al Bundy and a bad Gene Hackman impersonation. He wears the iconic hat and trench coat, has the same scrappy attitude, but it just comes off as a big joke. The location shooting helps, but the 80s music and fashions almost erase that as well. The plot has O'Neill and buddy investigating the death of a high-priced hooker. The trail leads to Middle East terrorists of all things.
