Brothers!!!
14 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
On the tough streets of L. A., the fellow detectives Decker & Gates are a modern-day Starsky & Hutch, keeping innocent women safe from nefarious predators.

"Fatal Instinct" included a good set of characters, which helped to counteract some of the pedestrian dialogue ("Bless me, Father, for I have sinned"). We primarily see the world through the eyes of Detective Michael Decker, whose wife Jen has deployed in the Middle East (thank you for your service!!!). Decker is now raising his daughter Kelly while investigating a strong of crimes against women. He is also still dealing with psychological issues from an incident that apparently sent his partner's brother to prison.

As the action unfolds, the focus shifts to the Gates brothers, Jack and Danny. A shocking moment occurs when it becomes apparent that they both love the same woman, Melissa. Danny is a real piece of work: two stints in prison and now out on parole. He cannot keep in check his hair-trigger temper.

There was good location filming that included a wonderful old church. Father Paul may be a suspect in the ongoing abuse against women in the community. But you will have to tune in to discover the twist that occurs in the film's final scene.

The film is worth watching as a historical artifact when the streets of Los Angeles were actually clean.
