Editorial Review:
Amazon.com: When undercover cop Jack Valentine (Mario Van Peebles) fails to protect his mob witness, the witness's girlfriend, Alma (Zerha Leverman), becomes his only chance to save his badge. But sleeping with her turns out to be a bad idea, since luckless Jack once before slept with a witness and the conflict of interest led to her demise. So you know this new one is a goner, too. See, the title's ironic. Forget it, Jack... it's Chinatown. Solid performances all around from Van Peebles, Rae Dawn Chong, and Randy Quaid, in a too-obvious script. Yet the film tries for, and to a large extent achieves, prime-time cop-show production values à la Homicide, NYPD Blue, and Law & Order. Relative newcomer Leverman turns in a standout performance as the seductive witness and manages to invest her character at once with signs of a disturbing past and a hypnotic sensuality. Also known as Valentine's Day. --Jim Gay
Average Rating: 
Rating: -
The plot is very thin, so the producers has to resort to a lot of female flesh to keep the male audience awake. This is the type of story that if you were to condense it by just the story line that was important to developing the plot, you could view it all in 30 mins. Sorry, because some good performances are wasted here.
