Between "Batman" and "Batman Returns," Michael Keaton found time to star in this 1991 drama, which also features Rene Russo, Anthony LaPaglia, and a very young Benjamin Bratt.

 

Keaton plays Artie Lewis, an NYPD detective married to Rene Russo.  LaPaglia is his partner, a widower with three young daughters.  One day, during a standoff with a drug fiend, Steve is killed.  Artie becomes legal guardian to his three daughters and vows to take down the drug kingpin he blames for Steve's death.

 

Overall review:  **  Seems to me that I saw this movie several years ago and liked it. But, seeing it again, I'm not so impressed.  It's pretty good for about the first 20-minutes, up until Steve dies.  After that, the movie can't decide whether it wants to be a story about vengeance or a story about a cop raising his partner's kids.  It tries to be both, and it doesn't work.
