Striking Distance (1993)


Listen Later

Shout-out to the 412 — we’re covering Striking Distance this week in honor of Pittsburgh. After finally explaining the pick and why we’re covering it now, Joe reviews the movie’s Pittsburgh bona fides. We discuss Bruce Willis as Tom Hardy, Sarah Jessica Parker as “a baddie,” and Tom Sizemore as the film’s most egregious red herring. We break down the elements here that work (and the ones that don’t), the tumultuous making of this movie, and the killer’s illogical frame job on Bruce Willis. We try to make sense of the silly twists and turns in its final act and the film’s many red herrings and misdirects. Joe laments something we’ve lost in modern action movies. Joey notices a reckless disregard for the toxic nature of Pittsburgh river water. We watch the misleading trailer for Striking Distance and stumble across a really bad movie. Who’s the best cop now?
