He had grown up there, walked its streets as a city cop and volunteered in a local youth service agency. Over the years he had come to understand that all too often the poor in the inner cities live more like inmates than citizens.

Now he wants to retire -- no pension, thank you, but no penance either. No police heat courtesy of an old-buddy cop (Kurt Russell). And no mortal wounds from rival coke kingpins or Mexican comandantes (Raul Julia). Just a cozy table for two with a hard-to-get restaurateur (Michelle Pfeiffer) who chirps skepticism like a tequila mockingbird...
