Have you heard or watched this movie? I haven't heard of it. It's "The Last of the Finest" made in 1990. Brian Dennehy is in it, and there's even an actor named Tom Nolan, though that is a screen name this actor uses. ........... Solitairea1 _____________________ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099991/combined _________________ The Last Of The Finest is about LAPD Narcotics officers squeezed out of the department, who on their own discover an extraordinary shipment of arms at the Port of Los Angeles—a large missile, a tank, scads of small rockets, etc. They escape under fire in a container truck which strikes a low bridge, disgorging its contents—$22 million in packets of cash. Mackenzie builds on Chinatown in his portrait of the city, and the softball diamond used for the climax and coda is an homage to George C. Scott's inestimable Rage. The final shot, of a television monitor broadcasting a political press conference, illustrates the point being made, that the vocabulary of politicians can have a different meaning in real life. Brian Dennehy and his fellow officers have a strong, comical suggestion of Doc Savage and his Fabulous Five. Henry Darrow as a City Hall type has a noble political purpose and a visceral dislike of murder, but even though this quasi-military operation south of the border is tied to Federal officials as well, it's run by a businessman with his eye on the 22 million, concealed in a septic tank.
