The Mod Squad (1999)

Member Rating:

Police Capt. Adam Greer (Dennis Farina) needs some new cops who can go where other cops can't. Greer finds three young people on their way to jail: Lincoln Hayes (Omar Epps), the black one, is up for arson; Pete Cochrane (Giovanni Ribisi), the white one, is up for robbery; and Julie Barnes (Claire Danes), the blonde one, is up for assault. The three are given a choice: go to jail, or become a special undercover unit that will infiltrate L.A.'s underbelly and bring down the drug dealers and parasites that are preying on the young. Their only rules: no badges, no guns, and no turning in other kids. This "mod squad" encounters a major problem when a cache of drugs disappears from the police evidence locker. All clues point to dirty cops, while the cops want to close ranks and blame the new kids. With their first big case, the squad realize they'll receive no help from the L.A.P.D. and must solve it their own way. ~ Ron Wells, All Movie Guide

I like Epps, Danes, and Ribisi. Just not in this movie.

It's get straight to the point: it's nothing like the TV series. That said, it tries very hard to be something more serious than it should be. Claire Danes and Giovanni Ribisi try too hard to be bad guys playing good guys that it's hard to watch. Omar Epps seems to be slipping through the whole film with very little to do other than look 'tough.' I like all three actors and have to really wonder if they all did the film for a paycheck. (I can respect that.)

This should be called The Bad Squad. Bad movie, bad script, bad acting. The three leads are good actors (especially Claire Danes) but not here. I almost turned it off!
