They could of made a spin off t.v series of this, but it would be hard keeping the title 'Connection'. But this movie which kind of feels a little t.v, goes by some other titles I see. This is just a run of the mill film/investigative thriller, which we can't really call it that. Basically, we have small town hottie cop Hartman, who steers the film in the performer stakes, such an underused actress, if I ever saw one, tracking her friends killer/killers to Beverly Hills LA, where she teams up with hunky PD, Brolin, in a milder likeable performance of average stature, who cares more for film and stars, more than policing, and really sort of tags alone. Obsessed, she kind of ratlles some cages, and wrecks up Brolin's dinner, date plans, and his prized automobile. Brolin's pretty lucky in the babe department, mixing more pleasure with business. I was amazed to learn, that the Beverly Hills Police Department (same as Axel Foley's, and wouldn't it be so exciting he and Hartman crossed paths) works more with stars, and aspiring ones, even ones in the police department, more than butting head with scumbags. Even though this lacks thrills, suspense, and has a 'pretty much you know where you going territory about it' it's still colourfully entertaining, çause of the cool hunky Brolin character, and powerful screen appeal of Hartman, with a super strong performance, and a lot of scummy characters, some embarassingly acted, or overacted. But you have to get past the first 10 minutes, of our country bumpkins and town police yodel folk.
