Good introspective show with great performance by Ed Asner

Ordinarily I don't like Ed Asner. I haven't liked his performances; I haven't liked the parts he's played; but in this series entry, he showed extraordinary acting ability, and deserves all the praise he can get.

Another attracting aspect in this entry is that Scott Brady, who plays the continuing character Vinnie who is a retired cop running a cop bar, gets a chance to shine. His character helps guide the cop played by Asner into acceptance of where life has taken them.

"Police Story" was always filled with powerful stories and moving performances, and this entry, with less action and more characterization, is one of the best of the series.
