LA cop takes on white supremacists who've killed one of his own.

I shied away from this film initially, due to its low IMDB rating at the time, but I was very pleasantly surprised.  It's based on actual events, yet the story has all the right elements of a great action film.  Don Johnson's LA cop is up against tremendous odds, a renegade, a drunk, lonely, and yet an entirely likeable character.  Whether you like Johnson (the actor), or Frankenheimer (the director), or action films (the genre) in general, give this film a chance.  It's almost perfect.  Completely underrated by the scoring on this site.
