Title: The Blah Squad
Review: What a dreary exercise this is! When Hollywood adapts TV shows to the big screen it would help to have a decent script. It's flicks like this that tanked M-G-M as a viable studio. The basic story comes from a cookie cutter involving corrupt cops, a prostitution ring, and stolen drugs from the police evidence room. There's more originality in a typical episode of "T.J. Hooker". The three young leads(Claire Danes, Omar Epps, Giovanni Ribisi) do their best to breathe life in this inert dreck to little avail. Dennis Farina as Captain Greer does himself a favor by dying early and not having to suffer the grind of being in the majority of this swill. Avoid this one at all costs. Noteworthy, if anybody cares, Dey Young who played Kate Rambeau in the cult classic "Rock 'N' Roll High School" appears briefly as Ribisi's mother.
