Two years later, Logan's released from jail and discovers to his horror that his diamond is now located in the recently completed L.A.P.D. precinct building. Desperate to retrieve it, and with the aid of a master forger, Uncle Lou (RICHARD C. SARAFIAN), Logan poses as a detective and gains access to the building.
Yet in his attempt to find the diamond, Logan inadvertently catches an escaped suspect, drawing the attention of Captain Rizzo (GRAHAM BECKEL). Impressed by Logan's style and faked credentials, Rizzo partners him with Carlson (LUKE WILSON), a green around the edges, rookie detective. After similarly arresting Tulley -- who threatens to blow Logan's cover -- the ex-con soon finds himself promoted to head detective, where he continues to impress other cops such as seasoned pro, Hardcastle (WILLIAM FORSYTHE).
As Logan's intimate knowledge of everything criminal turns him into a proficient detective who's always two steps ahead of the criminals, his quest to retrieve the diamond soon gets him tangled up in other cases and with the FBI.
The central character for whom we're supposed to root is a career criminal who imitates being a cop and ends up getting away with all of his activity by the time the story draws to a close. Other characters also have bad attitudes. Profanity is heavy due to more than 40 uses of the "s" word and some slang terms for male genitals, while other cuss words and colorful phrases occur throughout the film.
Some characters are smuggling heroin but we don't see any of its use, some smoking occurs as does a brief bit of scatological humor. Beyond all of that, some imitative material and some brief sexually related comments, the rest of the film is relatively void of any other major objectionable content. As always, however, should you still be concerned with the film's appropriateness for anyone in your home, we suggest that you take a closer look at the detailed content listings.
