michelleann68 at 03:53pm on 01/04/2009 under motdDecided to watch a trilogy today .. with Charles Bronson ... and Sebastian Spence:)
Family of Cops I picked up this series for 2 reasons, One- Sebastian Spence - I am a sucker for him and 2- I read reviews that it was not Citizen Kane but an admirable collection of movies. In the first movie we get introduced to the dysfunctional family Paul Fein (Charles Bronson) is the family patricarch, windowed and a cop, he is pretty tough but has a little soft spot for his kids. Oldest Daughter Jackie, is a public defender and unmarried, she is tough and had to raise her brothers and sister, when mom died. Brother Ben (Daniel Baldwin) is a tough cop with a wife and 4 kids, he is not really a dedicated family man, but he is faithful to his wife and his family. Sweet, floppy haired Eddie (Sebastian Spence) is the younger son, he became a cop and has a med school student as a girlfriend, he is pretty level headed and reasonable. Baby sister Melanie, is the typical screw up. She slept with everyone in Milwaukee and so, she moved to CA to be a loser there as well. She gets dragged back for dad's . Once back she ends up sleeping with this guy who ends up dead next to her. The family bands together to prove baby sister is innocent. It plays out with an interesting plot and pretty good performances. It does veer clear of any "romance" or "Lifetimeness" and ends up playing like a crime drama straight up.
Breach of Faith: Family of Cops II We are back with the Fein Family. This time Joe Penny replaces Daniel Baldwin as brother Ben. Sebastian is back as Eddie, and he lost the floppy hair (thanks goodness). They could of subtitled this " This time it's personal" - During the investigation of a priest's murder, the Fein family gets targeted by the Russian Mafia. And it is up to Daddy to keep them all alive and together. It was not bad, had an interesting storyline. Seeing all the movies in order helps keep track of what dysfunction belongs to what kid.
Family of Cops III: Under Suspicion Same cast as II are back again. Once again the family is targeted by bad guys, and once againSebastian Eddie gets the snot beat out of him (very much up your alley ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
evila_elf) It is nice to see the relationships change over time and the case held my interest, ( I actually paused when I got 2 phone calls) Charles Bronson, shows his age and sometimes his lines lack any punch at all, but it is forgivable, the rest of the cast does a nice job.
