Kinjite: Forbidden Subjects
Desire. Temptation. Revenge.
Action superstar Charles Bronson (Death Wish, Breakheart Pass) is at his two-fisted best in this gritty, action-packed thriller about a cop hellbent on wiping out a vicious child prostitution ring.
Lt. Crow (Bronson) is a veteran L.A. vice cop who nearly goes berserk after his young daughter is molested by an unidentified Asian man. As he battles his own racial prejudices and feelings of rage, Crowe is ordered to hunt down a brutal pimp who has kidnapped the daughter of a Japanese businessman. Hindered by police force superiors, Crowe is pushed into a personal war of vengeance, pitting himself against a savage urban empire of drugs and sexual depravity.

Over the top Cop movie - Ziegler
Positive: very nice cop movie with nice one liners and Bronson's character is over the top and well acted. I esp. like the one liners at the end of the movie with what happens to the pimp villain in the end.
Negative: Well the movie can be brutal and racist(well bronson's character is but gets some redemption in the end.). So so plot typical cop movie.
Conclusion: Could be an avergate cop movie but Bronson carries the show. Loved Trejo at the end even though he only had a bit part.Another Decent Bronson Movie - newdaysof
Charles Bronson plays an LA cop who tries to shut down a teenage prostitution ring. And at times, he bends or breaks the rules to get the job done.
It's your average cop-chases-bad-guy flick with a made-for-TV look and feel. The soundtrack is that tinny techno-pop-synth junk that was all the rage in the late 80's, and it's more than a little annoying at times. Some of the script and dialogue are pretty lame, and often sound more like sermonizing than real dialogue. Added to the story is a sub-plot involving a Japanese businessman who moves his family to LA and the ensuing culture clash. There was a lot of fear in the late 80's that the Japanese were taking over businesses and jobs in North America and the storyline deals with that issue quite well.
Bronson, who made a career out of righteous anger and revenge is good as usual in this film, but for some reason he feels less genuine than in his other films. But overall, it's a decent cop-action flick, with more than it's share of kinky sexual situations thrown in.Great little cop/revenge film - Blob
Great little cop /revenge film. He gets his justice in a wonderful way. Bronson plays a pretty hard core hard boiled cop. The bad guys are worthy of their treatment. There are other side plots. Overall pretty good. There is also some pretty good action, more in the hand to hand than the gun fighting.
