Harrison: Cry of the City (1996)
Woodward not so wooden..
A fascinating made for TV film, with lots of references that have a running theme of British humour. Woodward always attempts to underplay his parts, in this I feel he succeeds.
Faced with hostility, animosity and many other ity's from the local Police investigators.. he accepts a case working for Helen Lovett (Cynthia Harris) as a private investigator, on behalf of Octavio Ruiz (Robert Montano) an obvious criminal stereotype.
Maybe I was swayed by the inclusion of 'Teddys' daughter, played by that beautiful suave Brit Elizabeth Hurley. A delightful interplay as father and daughter between the two is woven into the plot.
Maybe a little over long, someone did suggest it may have been made as a pilot episode, but for a TV film it still gives reasonable value for money.
