Oh hi,
This week on FilmSack we get within STRIKING DISTANCE of the answer to the question every man has on his head. Should I keep it? Should I just shave it all off! Maybe I’ll just be the “hat guy?” Let me rephrase that “am I going bald up there?!” In this Action/Crime/Cousin Cop/Thrill Ride from 1993 starring everybody’s favorite balding action hero doing what he does best… Eye blasting you with his stoic sarcasm and one liners and sleeping with career women who always end up in danger.
Anywho, Now It’s time to play! “Things to do with your Cop Partner, cousin or not”
A. Send them to prison for roughing up the suspects. That you know of
B. Beg them to not jump into the River after you snitch, ya snitch.
C. Dump them into the river by taking off quickly in your boat. Suck my wake.
or D. Make sweet love to them. D… It’s always the D….
Randy, I would also have accepted… tase them in the mouth.
