Sarah Jessica Parker was the only reason to watch this movie
Sarah Jessica Parker is the only reason to watch "Striking Distance.". Not because she was any good, but because people are interested to see her in the early stages of her career before "Sex and the City."
While she may have never been pretty, she was physically at her prime in this movie, which she filmed when she was 27 years old. She had a curvaceous body, smooth tanned legs, and a seamless face that actually looked halfway descent. There were barely any scenes of her in the film without a sports bra or a skirt two inches above her knees.
Her athletic frame was on full display during her love scene with Bruce Willis, which still manages to give me erections (very few people know these two had an on-screen romance together, which is remarkable considering they both have A-list movie star status).
There were countless action movies like this in Hollywood during the 90's. Willis epitomizes the role of the loose canon cop dodging bullets and explosions for 115 minutes all while managing to fit in a quickie with his attractive blond partner somewhere between start and finish. It's actually bad in a good way, the same kind of guilty pleasure you enjoy by watching cheesy porn films.
So if you're looking to be entertained, grab this at the neighborhood blockbuster, unplug your brain, and feel your IQ drop every time Bruce Willis opens his mouth to say something stupid, which is basically two hours non-stop.
