Striking Distance (Blu-ray Disc, 2009)

This movie is great entertainment, as a bang-up whodunnit with lots of action, a good plot, appealing characters, and great cinematography. Bruce Willis is, well, Bruce Willis, who plays a 5th generation Irish cop, Tom Hardy, recently banished from Homicide to river duty, for saying that a string of brutal murders is actually being committed by cops. Furthermore, Tom realizes that he is being set up for the murders, as he keeps finding the bodies in the rivers.

Filmed on the beautiful three rivers area of Pittsburg, the old city has never looked better. Neither has lovely co-star Sarah Jessica Parker, his new partner, who provides the romantic interest. Boating fans will delight in a beautifully old restored Chris Craft Capri mahogany runabout, that Tom uses to commute to work each day. They will also grind their teeth at the fate of the old boat in the final exciting chase scene.

This film was tailor made for the new Blu_Ray HD format as you're immersed in the action and the gorgeous scenery.

All in all, a terrific evening's emtertainment!




Long gone is the image of the old smoky iron city
