I have just finished watching Exit Wounds, which is really just another Steven Segal movie (without his pony tail) where he beat up lots of people with some great entertainment value, in this one he plays a cop (Orin Boyd) who keeps on getting on the wrong side of his various police chiefs (including throwing the vice president in the river and attempting to arrest an undercover officer) and ends up at the bottom of the police ladder as a traffic cop.
Then he is given a chance and a new partner and starts to investigate corruption in the police precinct after the stations drugs are stolen from piper tech in a raid, which he believes is an inside job. From this you could probably guess the rest of the plot.
If you enjoy the action genre you will enjoy this film but it is not really worth going out of your way to see as it is pretty standard, with lots of fights and a car chase. The film did seem to be missing a love interest for Steven, but that just leaves more time for action.

Good op although a little more info on the characters and how well the actors performed would have helped, even though I know Segal usually steals the show. Steve
