Tom Sharky is a narcotics cop in Atlanta who's demoted to vice after a botched bust. In the depths of this lowly division, while investigating a high-dollar prostitution ring, Sharky stumbles across a mob murder with government ties, and responds by assembling his downtrodden fellow investigators (Sharky's "machine") to find the leaders and bring them to justice before they kill off all his partners and witnesses, including Sharky himself.

What's with all the happy music? It's a wonder anybody went to see this thing. This movie is a hardcore cop movie with blood and shootouts and drugs and shit. From the trailer it almost looks like a comedy. - @Saturday, January 9, 2016 3:22 PM

My friends and I went to see this film , for one it had a good cast , and was glad I saw it at the theater. It had a good story , the hit man had to do some dilaudid and pcp before a kill , Rachel Ward at Her best , had a little martial arts with the action and a very cool ending. One of Reynolds best . Many People complaint that they cant buy the soundtrack but I saw it on Amazon for $7 - @Sunday, May 3, 2015 7:19 AM

Just remembering the finger-slice scene.... and wanting desperately to go home since I was about 7 when this came out and was forced to see it (I guess mom couldn't find a sitter). - @Saturday, December 8, 2012 10:50 PM
