Homicide: Life On The Street - The Movie
The One Case So Important, Every Detective Is Back
This movie was made after the series had ended.
Former Homicide Shift Commander Al Giardello is the leading candidate for Mayor of Baltimore. As he walks toward the platform to give a political speech, a shot is fired at him from the crowd. He is rushed to the hospital where doctors labor to save his life. Meanwhile, a local TV cameraman's videotape becomes the key piece of evidence as former and current Homicide Detectives unite in an effort to catch the elusive gunman. Special appearances by Jason Priestly (Beverly Hills 90210), Ed Begley, Jr. (St. Elsewhere) and Eammon Walker (Oz).

This endless series can never die - Prawn
If you watched this award winning and somewhat benchmark show then this movie will wrap up the series in a powerful and emotional way that the show deserves.
The plot is not the strongest, and there are holes, but that is not what this is about. The gang is all back, all of them, even the dead ones get a word in. With over 20 actors no one really gets much screne time, but that is OK. These actors are so good that they make this movie seemless.
The focal point is not the newer characters, but the old heros Frank and Baylis. Thier dark and turbulent lives are given one last story.
The show end like it began, with a all too realistic, powerful and memorable show that will stay with you long after the credits role.
