Rita Rizzoli is a narcotics cop with a plethora of disguises. When a drug shipment is hijacked, the thieves don't know that the drug is unusually pure and packs of 'Fatal Beauty' begin turning up next to too many dead bodies. Mike works for the original owner of the drugs and tries to tell himself that since he does not handle the drugs, he is 'clean'. Mike becomes Rita's constant companion.

Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Tom Holland directed from a script and story credited to three individuals, anyone could have knocked this one out during coffee break.

rotten:
Bloody, boring and pandering, is as poisonous as the drug trade it pretends to defame.

fresh:
Goldberg's best work since The Color Purple.
– Roger Ebert,

rotten:
The wisecracks and the swaggering are as unrelieved as the film's almost comically ecstatic gunplay. Someone must have figured audiences like things this way.
