Christian Slater plays a man who inherits a police district from his older brother who was gunned down , played by Bruce Boxleitner. apparently San Francisco didn't have enough police,, so there was like citizen patrols broken up into districts is how it was explained in the movie,, so he takes over the district , and trouble follows him everywhere, he has to be trained by his peers because he has no law enforcement experience,, his girlfriend is Milla Jovovich,, really young in this movie. Lots of chases,, funny one liners,, car chases, pretty funny movie,, it's slightly above average,, not Christian's greatest work,, but definitely watchable,, and full of laughs.

Slater
Harmless Christian Slater Vehicle.
This is a perfectly enjoyable light romp. Slater is very charming as the over his head young man that inherits his brothers security business. This is nothing more then enjoyable fluff. Slater fans may have overlooked this cute little movie.
Private patrol
Christian Slater continues with his low rent Jack Nicholson impersonation in the dismal Kuffs. A film that tonally is all over the place not sure whether it is a buddy cop drama, a comedy or a violent thriller. At one point it is a buddy dog/cop film.
Slater plays George Kuffs, a slacker usually borrowing money from his brother Brad a private patrol man who owns a district in San Francisco and patrols it for its citizens who pay him for protection.
When Brad is killed by a violent gang gang member, George decides to continue with the security firm even though there are people willing to buy the district from him and George has no experience in keeping the citizens safe.
As in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Slater constantly gives his thoughts to the camera. Harold Faltermeyer's 1980s tinged soundtrack just reminds you that this film was passed over by Eddie Murphy as it has hints of Beverly Hills Cop and 48 Hours.
The script is just dreadful despite Slater trying to be show an appealing persona. Some of the action sequences are poorly staged varying from being violent to then being comic as well as being absurd.
Like Slater when he has his shirt off, This is just lightweight fluff that shows some interesting shots of San Francisco which is the best that can be said of this movie.
