Murder At The Presidio
A Military Policeman investigating what looked like a break-in at the Officer’s Club at the Presidio in San Francisco is shot down. The same man also shoots an SFPD officer while fleeing the first crime. This makes the whole thing a dual jurisdiction between the Army and the local law enforcement.

Hard enough normally, but in this situation you have a detective played by Mark Harmon who’s a former MP who has a bad history with Sean Connery the provost marshal in charge at the Presidio. Though they hate each other’s guts they of necessity have to work together.

Sean Connery is one of those players who just being in a film elevates in class. Without him in the thing this would be just a routine police yarn, might have been good enough for a made for TV film and nothing more. Another conflict in the film is Connery with daughter Meg Ryan who takes an interest in Harmon at first to spite dad, but then finds herself falling for him.

Acting honors in this film go to Jack Warden the retired sergeant major who won a Congressional Medal of Honor saving Connery’s life in Vietnam. Warden and Connery keep you interested in the film, in finding out just why the MP and the SFPD officer had to die. Without them, I doubt anyone would care.

Review By: bkoganbing
Hopelessly muddled cop snoozer.
My Take: A fine cast can’t save this boring cop thriller.

It’s a bad sign when, even at the first few minutes of a film, you already feel bored and tired, checking your watches with a yawn isn’t a good sign itself. This is exactly what I felt during the first few minutes of THE PRESIDIO, a hopelessly muddled entry in a long line of cop-buddy thrillers. After the opening credits have loomed across the screen (featuring a montage of famous San Fransisco landmarks), the first chase sequences ensues. The chase, which is almost just the same car chase sequence in BULLITT shot at night, no matter how much crashing and bashing had me bored. In fact, so much of the action in THE PRESIDIO can’t make up for the hopelessly uninteresting plot and sluggish pacing. Considering the cast list (which includes A-listers as Sean Connery and Meg Ryan ), this is a major disappointment.

Like other cop-buddy movies behind it, this film combines two unlikely cops teaming together, this case, Connery and Harmon as two cops who hate each other. Connery plays Lt. Col. Caldwell, a well-decorated police officer in the Presidio who is teamed up with former partner Jay Austin (Harmon), who got him in a lot of trouble years back. They’re sent to investigate a murder in the Presidio. Subplot rises when Austin falls for Caldwell’s teen daughter (Meg Ryan), which is intended to be the film’s romantic side, but fails to achieve it since it rips-off every single romantic cliché in the recycle bin. In fact, Harmon isn’t really much of a charmer, as he sleepwalks or overacts in his role. Connery is such a good actor, he manages to save himself in his minor role, but the scene where he fights a thug with his thumbs goes a long way (all is forgiven for Connery for winning an Oscar the following year for his performance in THE UNTOUCHABLES).

Up until the climax (which is actually quite enjoyable), THE PRESIDIO is a tremendously dull cop thriller with no bite nor thrill. Director Peter Hyams has a way behind the camera as both director and cinematographer, but he hardly grabs you in this tedious police thriller-wannabe.

Rating: *1/2 out of 5.
