Officer Ted Morning (Bill Sage), a tough guy and braggart who models himself after the archetypal cowboy, has just partnered up with Officer Rob Francis (Bill Dawes), who is struggling to adjust after his previous beat in a sleepy town. The two mismatched cops must work together to survive in a dangerous Texas city. Unfortunately, while Francis takes a more detached and philosophical approach to his duties, Morning can't wait to get his hands dirty -- which spells trouble for the new partners.

A young cop in a new setting; a cynical veteran is his new partner. Think you've seen this flick already? Nope.

Not much action in this film just two ordinary cops doing their daily routine and the kooks and criminals they meet in a day's work. Good, watchable character study.

Better than I was expecting. The actors develop their opposite characters nicely and their interation with opposing viewpoints is interesting. They are very real characters. The film seems just a series of various stories strung together by the two main leads, but the last 1/4 of the film pulls it all together nicely.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

This gentle, unhurried, and richly observed character piece remains surprisingly true to itself and doesn't resort to sentimentality.

This is a great "drink beer and watch a movie" flick. Good quality acting, touching moment, and humor. Makes you want to be "one of those cops"
