The book takes place on Long Island, while the film is set in Detroit. Steven Seagal plays Orin Boyd, an urban police detective notorious for pushing the limits of the law in his quest for justice. Although the story is set in Detroit, many goofs in the production make it apparent that most of the movie was filmed in Toronto, Ontario Hamilton, Ontario and Calgary, Alberta, Canada. This was Steven Seagals last movie to be distributed by Warner Bros.
Orin Boyd Steven Seagal is a cop in Detroits 21st precinct, who saves the Vice President of the United States Christopher Lawford from a rightwing Michigan militant group trying to kill him. As Boyd saved the Vice Presidents life by disobeying orders and killing all the militants, Captain Frank Daniels Bruce McGill, who is also a longtime friend of Boyd, is forced to fire Boyd, but still tells him to talk with police chief Hinges Bill Duke who dislikes Boyd because Boyd gives the police a bad name by disobeying orders and has repeatedly tried to fire him, only for Boyd to be returned to duty by his friends in the trade union. Despite Boyd once again being returned to duty, Hinges transfers Boyd to the 15th precinct Detroits arguably worst police precinct.Boyds new captain, former internal affairs officer Annette Mulcahy Jill Hennessy, knows of his reputation, and she tells him that she will not tolerate it. Annette sends Boyd to an anger management class, where he meets Henry Wayne Tom Arnold, the highstrung host of a local talk show called Detroit AM. While driving, Boyd comes across local drug dealer Latrell Walker Earl DMX Simmons and his fasttalking sidekick T.K. Johnson Anthony Anderson doing a shady deal with a man named Matt Montini David Vadim. After a brief fight, Walker and Johnson escape, while Boyd arrests Montini and discovers to his surprise that Montini is a cop and has been working undercover trying to nail Walker and Boyd just ruined the sting, which does not sit well with Montinis musclebound partner Useldinger Matthew G. Taylor. ........
