- A San Francisco civilian police detective is forced to work on a series of murders with his former enemy commanding officer while dating his daughter.
- At the Presidio, the Army base in San Francisco, a female MP was conducting her rounds when she came across the officer's club and the door had been forced open. She went to investigate and was shot. The individuals who broke in got into their car and drove and what followed was high speed chase that got both the Army MP's and the San Francisco police involved, which ended badly for both. Jay Austin, a San Francisco Police detective, is sent to investigate and he is met by Lt. Colonel Caldwell, who was his commanding officer, when he was an MP on the Presidio. It seems that Austin tried to arrest an Army officer but didn't follow procedures and Caldwell didn't support him. And the murdered MP was Austin's partner. A preliminary investigation casts suspicion on the officer Austin tried to arrest.
- There isn't a lot to recommend this film. Sean Connery is an American military officer. Complete with Scottish accent. Meg Ryan is out of place as his daughter, and too old for the role she is given. Mark Harmon is a one dimensional actor and that one dimension isn't enough as a San Francisco police officer. What this basically comes down to is another police buddy picture with a bit of a twist, one is a cop (Harmon) and the other is military police (Connery). It's pretty typical stuff except that a great actor is miscast, an average actress is so far out of place her character should be in another movie, and a lesser actor is in the lead. The screenplay is predictable and the direction is almost absent. And as if that weren't bad enough, the worst chase scene in film history is present. A foot chase with Harmon chasing a suspect. Everything that can be thrown into the scene to slow Harmon down is tossed in right after the suspect passes by. People, flashing barricades, milk crates, luggage, and even a horse are thrown in Harmon's way during the chase that ends so routinely that a monkey could have written it.
- Mark Harmon plays a street-wise, smart-mouth San Francisco detective who is forced to team up with his former Military Police c.o. in Peter Hyams' thriller-comedy. The two reluctantly join forces in order to track down the murderer of a young ex-colleague.<br/><br/>"The Presidio" is well photographed (Peter Hyams himself was Director of Photography) and features some excitingly staged action sequences, while the plot is quite reasonable and remains fairly interesting throughout. Unfortunately this movie is lacking the fabulous comedy Hyams delivered to us in "Running Scared". One or two humorous moments do prevail, but it's never enough. And the final action sequence is a little disappointing as it is predictable and rather takes the easy way out.<br/><br/>Sean Connery is a very enjoyable screen presence of course, and always an entertainment, but otherwise this is a below par action-comedy which fails to find sufficient consistency.<br/><br/>Monday, February 14, 1994 - T.V.
- It's an ultra-slick, ultra-flat movie that cuts like a cellophane knife. No edge, no blood.
- The sex scene between Jay and Donna is longer in the Unrated Version. The latter hasn't been released in the States yet but can be found on the German DVD. a5c7b9f00b
