Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

a_chinn Lame low budget thriller cashes in on the notoriety Michael Madsen earned from his performance as Mr. Blond in "Reservoir Dogs" and cast him in a rare heroic role (although casting him as the kind stepdad in "Free Willy" was even more far astray). Madsen plays a detective trying to track down a serial killer and also falls for Bill Cosby's TV daughter, Lisa Bonet., who as you might have guessed becomes a target of the killer It's all pretty boring and feels more like an old USA channel made-for-TV movie (back when USA only made "Silk Stockings" and Baywatch ripoffs featuring bicycle pants-wearing beach cops). On the plus side, Parker Posey has a small supporting role, but there's really no reason to recommend this film. FUN FACT! This film was an early score by composer Rolfe Kent, before he went on to more respectable of films like "Election," "Up in the Air," and "Sideways."

gridoon If you share my opinion that Michael Madsen is just about the epitome of "cool", and that he can be interesting to watch even when HE isn't very interested in a project, then you have at least one good reason to sit through this watchable but predictable and formulaic thriller (he also has a nice, easy chemistry with co-star Lisa Bonet). The film doesn't become actively bad until the ridiculous turn of events that leads to the climax. (**)

Michael O'Keefe Mediocre thriller about an asthmatic detective(Michael Madsen)and a young reporter(Lisa Bonet)trying to get a line on a serial killer(Gary Stretch) who makes obscene phone calls and leaves most of his victims in motel rooms. Brutality and a glimpse of sex. Just not enough to even be a mild winner. Also in the cast:Lisa Sinclair, Jimmy Ortega, John Clayton Schafer and Parker Posey.

Tri-Turbo The last minutes of "Dead Connection" would make us laugh to death (not the ultimate aim for a cop movie), if they did not make us feel so sick. In the final moments the hero, Matt (Michael Madsen), fights a former Marine´s boxing champion who beats him easily and savagely. But as usual, a divine healing restores his power and allows Matt to strike back just enough for his recent female companion (also classic) to shoot his opponent. And guess what, Matt´s face does not show the slightest trace of a punch (Oh! He does have a tiny cut over his eye!).The whole situation is so ridiculous that it makes us forget that the rest is not bad. Nothing fancy, but O.K., specially thanks to a very good performance from Madsen.
