There is a serial killer terrorizing Manhattan. Mayor Eamon Flynn (Rod Steiger) wants it to stop now. The agitated mayoral assistant (Harvey Keitel) calls on his former--brilliant, nonconformist--cop brother (Kevin Kline) to return to the force and handle the case. Kline agrees, for a price: a date with Keitel's gorgeous wife (Susan Sarandon). Kline amasses details on the killer and calculates a pattern that allows him to predict the killer's next crime, which will take place in the labyrinthine corridors of a major skyscraper. Screenplay by John Patrick Shanley (Moonstruck).

A Near ClassicToo bad John Patrick Shanley didn’t direct this. His script is genius..Score: 4/5

Huh?This movie is all over the place and there are zero funny scenes. It claims its a murder mystery comedy but there is no humor, childish “clues” to solve the mystery, and doesnt use any of the amazing actors like it should. Every scene feels like a side plot but you slowly realize that thats the film itself. Its truly a film that has no self awareness and doesnt know what niche its trying to fill. No wonder it did bad at the box office, i forgot the film existed right after i watched it.Score: 1/5

Another Overlooked 1980's Film.If you are a fan of Kevin Kline you have got to see this one..Score: 4/5

Just a good movieIt's indicative of the times, 1988. Every movie had that certain feeling to its music and the movie although based around police work actually didn't resemble real police work. Didn't Mary Elizabeth look absolutely beautiful at 30..Score: 5/5

Italiano
La notte di Capodanno del 1988 la ricca signora Alison Hawkins, di ritorno da una sontuosa festa e totalmente ubriaca, viene strangolata da un misterioso individuo con un nastro azzurro. Questa è solo l'ultima vittima di una serie di efferati delitti perpetrati da un serial killer, denominato The January Man, che terrorizza da quasi un anno la città di New York. Il maggiore Flynn, capo del NYPD, ordina al commissario Frank Starkey di affidare il caso all'unica persona in grado di prendere il serial killer: il tenente Nick Starkey, fratello di Frank, cacciato un anno prima dalla polizia con una accusa di corruzione....

Deutsch
Als in der Neujahrsnacht ein erneuter Mord geschieht und diese Frau eine Freundin der Tochter Bernadette des charismatischen Bürgermeisters von New York, Eamon Flynn ist, wird die Sache mehr als unangenehm für den Polizeipräsidenten Frank Starkey. Auf Druck des Bürgermeisters bleibt ihm nur ein Ausweg. Widerwillig bittet er seinen Bruder Nick um Hilfe, einen Ex-Polizisten, der wegen unorthodoxer Ermittlungsmethoden vom Dienst suspendiert wurde und nun als Ex-Profiler-„Hippie“-Star-Feuerwehrmann arbeitet und Kinder aus brennenden Gebäuden rettet. Die Politiker holen ihn medienwirksam zurück in den aktiven Dienst und schieben ihn dem mürrischen Capt. Vincent Alcoa unter, der ihn noch von früher kennt. Er richtet sich ein Büro seiner Wahl her, hat einen Assistenten („Ed“) dabei und fordert ungewöhnliches Material an. Bernadette und Nick verlieben sich, Alcoa versteckt sich.

Nick en Frank Starkey waren beide politieagent. Door een schandaal werd Nick destijds gedwongen ontslag te nemen.

Sorozatgyilkos tartja rettegésben New York lakóit. Tizenegy hónapon át tizenegyszer ölt és most is arra készül. Január következik, az új év kezdete. Vajon ki lesz a következő áldozat? A városszerte növekvő félelem és feszültség arra kényszeríti a polgármestert, hogy bevonja a nyomozásba egyik elbocsátott emberét Nick Starkey-t. Nick minden, csak nem hagyományos zsaru. Ahogy egyik kollégája jellemzi: "nem rendőr, hanem rendbontó". Nick valóban sajátságos módszerekkel dolgozik. Eszköztárában fontos szerep jut a vörösbornak, a tűzoltófecskendőnek, a computernek, a humornak és a nőknek. Nevezetesen a fivére feleségének és a pogármester bájos lányának. De bármennyire nem szívlelik is a "kockafejűek" Nick Starkey-t, azt mindannyian kénytelenek elismerni, hogy ezt a rejtélyes ügyet csakis ő képes megoldani. Addig pedig mindenki gyanús, aki él.

Português
Nick Starkey (Kevin Kline) é um ex-policial de Nova York, que agora é bombeiro por ter sido obrigado a se afastar devido a um escândalo. Nick é requisitado a voltar à ativa quando um serial killer mata sua décima primeira vítima na véspera do Ano Novo. Seu irmão (Harvey Keitel), que trabalha na polícia, não vê este retorno com bons olhos, principalmente pelo fato da sua mulher (Susan Sarandon) se sentir atraída pelo seu irmão. Porém Nick se envolve com a filha do prefeito e gradativamente descobre que os crimes são cometidos em datas e locais pré-determinados, seguindo um padrão específico. Assim ele acredita que possa estar no local do atentado antes do assassinato ser cometido, mas ninguém lhe dá crédito, com exceção da namorada e de um amigo que é pintor.

Zmuszony do współpracy ze swoim bratem, który wcześniej go zwolnił, musi także odnowić stosunki ze swoja dawną dziewczyną (Sarandon) - obecnie żoną brata, a także z zakochaną w nim córką mera (Mastrantonio).

Leslie Nielsen returns as the intrepid (and accident-prone) Lt. Frank Drebin in Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear, "un film de David Zucker." This second feature film from the "Police Squad!" series finds Drebin as a guest at a White House dinner, receiving an award for shooting his 1,000th drug dealer, although he admits to shooting only 998 - he ran over the last two in his car. ("Luckily, they turned out to be drug dealers"). Also at the White House dinner is energy czar Dr. Albert S. Meinheimer (Richard Griffiths), whom President George Bush (John Roarke) has chosen to start a new national energy policy. Since Meinheimer believes in promoting alternative energy resources, the evil leaders of the polluting energy industries (coal, oil, and nuclear power - or the lobby groups Smoke, Spill and Kaboom) are horrified at Bush's choice. Joining together with arch-villain Quentin Hapsburg (Robert Goulet), they plan to kidnap the real Meinheimer and substitute a fake Meinheimer in his place who will enact energy policy according to the dictates of the energy lobby. Drebin becomes deeply involved in the conspiracy when he runs into his ex-girl friend Jane (Priscilla Presley), who is not only Meinheimer's public relations director but also Hapsburg's current paramour.
