 Underated Bruce Willis February 17, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This movie is pretty typical in many ways but Bruce Willis delivers an outstanding performance in just about every single movie he is in and this is another in a long line.
Former big city cop banished to being just a river rat there is more at stake than finding his fathers killer when women from his past keep winding up dead in the river for him to find.
Sarah Jessica Parker also delivers an excellent performance that was very surprising.
This is a must own for Bruce Willis fans and fans of the 80's/90's thriller/action movies.
 Typical Bruce Willis January 16, 2008

This is his forte. I surely wouldn't be watching a Bruce Willis movie for the romance! Lots of action, and drama. Not a family movie.
Cops running a muck in Pittsburg? Bruce attempts to clean the city up with the help of Sarah Jessica Parker.
Underrated Genre Gem September 23, 2007

Bruce Willis at the peak of his action hero form playing a cynical hard-boiled cop trying to fight the system. A pre-Sex and the City Sarah Jessica Parker at the peak of her cuteness. Great character actors like Dennis Farina, Tom Sizemore, Brion James, Tom Mahoney, and Andre Braugher. Superb on location cinematography shot by Mac Ahlberg in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, a cool genre score by Brad Fiedel (love that saxaphone love theme) and on the mark (and wonderfully over the top) direction by Rowdy Herington of Road House fame. Striking Distance is a nice little hard boiled action gem that seems to be slowly gaining a nice little cult following. For fans of 80's and 90's action films, this is a movie worth seeking out.
C'MON NOW! August 27, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is one of Bruces high octane action movies that is always at the bottom of the barrel. This is still when Bruce Willis was looking like old school, original Die hard Bruce Willis. With that cutthroat wit that always made him worth watching.
Yes, sometimes the plot goes into extreme Monday Night Movie of The Week territory, with the serial killer, disguised as a plot twist, but I still dig it.
And some may say that there was zero chemistry in the romance between him and Sarah Jessica Parker, but come on now! Plus, what do I care, she is smokin' in that police boat uniform. Yes. Sarah Jessica Parker is always hot though. Even when she was in her akward "square pegs" era. She's a fox.
Dennis Farina, top notch job, as usual. I would have liked it better if Bruce had thrown a glass of punch at him... oh wait, he does!
Anyway. C'mon now! If you like Bruce Willis, or action movies, or serial killer movies, this is worth at least a rental. Even if just for the scene when Bruce tricks all the bad guys by wearing that one bad guys hat. Genius!
 A GOOD ACTION THRILLER ! August 26, 2007

I saw this movie years ago and found it in a bargain bin recently, I thought it was time to give it another viewing. This is no "Die Hard",but it is a pretty neat action thriller that will hold your interest. The DVD transfer is very good.
