I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Thanks for the memories!

Such a frustrating disappointment

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

A break-in at a military base leads to a murder; the perpetrators' escape causes the death of a cop outside the base, so the case will involve both the San Francisco P.D. and the military police. Former MP Jay Austin (Mark Harmon) is now a detective who will butt heads with his old commanding officer, Lieutenant Colonel Alan Caldwell (Sean Connery). They'll argue about methodology, and jurisdiction, and other such things, and Jay will naturally fall in lust with Caldwells' conveniently cute daughter Donna (Meg Ryan).Although there are some good moments for the main actors - Jack Warden also among them, as Caldwells' longtime friend Ross Maclure - this movie is more entertaining during its murder investigation scenes. It IS played awfully straight, with not much in the way of humour, but then, this is more of a serious thriller than the typical buddy-cop action film. It does also have, however, a ridiculous scene that serves no real purpose to the plot other than to show how bad ass Connery is, as he beats up Rick Zumwalt (as a bully in a bar) with his THUMB. Slickly made, with capable direction by Peter Hyams, who again serves as as his own cinematographer (and does a better job of lighting the proceedings than usual). The location work in SF is excellent, fortunately.The handsome Harmon is passable as our likable good guy protagonist, but he doesn't have much chemistry with either Connery or Ryan. The supporting cast is solid: Mark Blum, Marvin J. McIntyre, Dana Gladstone, the much too briefly seen Jenette Goldstein, Don Calfa (in a quick cameo), John DiSanti, Robert Lesser, Patrick Kilpatrick, etc., but Connery is the principal reason to watch "The Presidio". His effortlessly strong presence lends itself well to the role of a career military man.This is easy enough to watch, but also easy enough to forget.Six out of 10.

***SPOILERS*** Even though the action in the film "The Presidio" takes place within San Francisco's city limits it all centers around something that went on in South Viet Nam back in the late 1960's that later spilled over into the Philippine Islands. It's when lady US Army MP Patti Gene Lynch, Jenette Goldstein, is shot and killed investigating a break-in at the San Francisco's Presidio's military base that her killer takes off and ends up gunning down outside the Presidio grounds a SF policeman who tried to arrest him.With both the military and the SFPD involved tensions arise between the Presidio's Provost Marshall Lt. Col. Alan Cardwell, Sean Connery, and SFPD investigative detective Jay Austin, Mark Harmon, who are put on the case. It turns out that Austin was a member of the Presidio and was busted by Lt. Col.Cardwell over something involving Patti Jean Lynch, one of the two murder victims, and the two have no use for each other. What exactly Austin was busted for is never really explained but it had to do with another member of the Presidio Col Paul Lawrence, Dana Gladstone, who according to Austin Let.Col. Cardwell was covering up for. If this isn't confusing enough in pops Arthur Peale, Mark Blum, who's stolen car was found to be the getaway car in the crime! As it soon turns out Peale was also in "Nam" back in 1968 as a CIA undercover man who was very close to Col. Lawrence! What exactly does all this have to do with MP Patti Jean as well as SF cop getting killed over a break-in at the Presidio's officer club! As it soon turned out it was the delivery of the supply spring water to the club to water the plants there! But what was in the water bottle wasn't just water it was something that men as well as women would kill for and in this case they did!The movie gets even more confusing when were introduced to Medal of Honor winner and the curator of the Presidio's War Museum Sgt.Major Ross Maclure, Jack Warden, who's got a secret he's been hiding since his being back in "Nam" that he's being blackmailed over. Whatever that "secret" is were never told in the movie but it had to be a real whopper since it being made public can very well put the Medal of Honor winner behind bars for life or even in front of a US Army firing squad! We also have the handsome Jay Austin provided with a love interest in the film Let. Col. Cardwell's free spirited and non conformist daughter Donna, Meg Ryan. Donna's been driving her pop nuts for years in holding him responsible for the death of her mom who she claims the by the books and doing it, the housework and groceries, right Maj. Col. Cardwell drove to kill herself when Donna was two years old.***MAJOR SPOILERS*** It's after all the shooting and running in the movie and with the dozen or so bodies finally carted away that actor Sean Connery as the up tight Let.Col. Alan Cardwell had his finest moment. Giving a heart filled speech at the local military cemetery for his good friend and now departed Sgt. Major Maclure Connelly was so good and convincing that for a moment I forget that he was acting and broke into tears along with him and those in attendance at the funeral!P.S Check out the bar room fight that Let. Col. Cardwell has with the taunting and abrasive 270 pound world arm wrestling champ Rich Zumwalt. All it took for Let.Col.Cardwell to put the big guy away by busting him up, along with the bar they were in, was not even his right arm but his right thumb! Like Let.Col. Cardwell told the big lug before he really got to work on him that in using his left thumb it wouldn't be an even fight! I guess what Let. Col. Cardwell meant by that was that he was left-handed.

Very ordinary and from this standpoint, dated so-called thriller fronted by big names in stereotypical roles delivering "through the motions" performances. Connery's the biggest star name here and while his character at least boasts Scottish ancestry this time to explain and excuse his accent, he portrays his typical latter-day grizzled old man routine as a tough-as-nails military general who after defining his character by delivering epithets like "I'll have your balls for breakfast" and single-thumbedly (literally) taking out a big-mouthed pub boor, of course melts sufficiently to eventually accept enforced cooperation with maverick cop and previous subordinate Mark Harmon and naturally bridge the generation-gap between him and his rebellious daughter Meg Ryan so that they all end up arm-in-arm at the movie's conclusion, one big happy family to-be, case solved. Harmon does his best sub-Tom Cruise pretty-boy act, mugging at the camera to convey emotion whilst Meg Ryan replays her trademark goofy persona, all sheepish grins and mood swings like some hormonal adolescent teenager. The dialogue is clichéd and clunky, but at least the action sequences, particularly the first extended car - chase are delivered well. Unfortunately director Hyams brings the fairly slow-moving action to an almost complete standstill midway through the piece as emotional crises emerge!!! as Ryan falls out with Connery (naturally), offends and then (naturally) makes up with Harmon, before we encounter the ever so slight twist in the tale prior to a fairly ridiculous shoot-out where Connery and Harmon (naturally) come through unscathed at the finish. San Francisco as a backdrop portrays more character than the actors here, but well-shot as it is, "Vertigo" and "Bullit" this most certainly isn't.

I found this film to be really boring, dumb, and bad.It's billed as a crime film, and despite the fact that a crime occurs in the opening minutes, it's actually primarily not a crime film and is more a film about the father-daughter relationship between Meg Ryan and Sean Connery.But the crime aspect of the story was dumb, and just what the crime was about was never explained. The crime aspect of the story was clearly just an excuse to have a fight scene in a bar, a car chase scene or two, and some shoot 'em up scenes. It's not at all interesting. There's really no kind of whodunnit stuff if that's the kind of thing you're looking for. None of the criminals' characters are developed at all, if that's the kind of thing you're looking for.The other non-crime aspects of the story were really what this movie was about, and they were incredibly cheesy. This is basically an incredibly boring and bad cheesefest interspliced with some pointless car chases, fist fights, and shoot 'em up action.I thought it was poorly cast and badly directed, but, in all fairness, it seems as though it would have been impossible to have made a good film out of this horrid screenplay. The story is just dumb and boring.Mark Harmon was terrible and is not at all believable as a police officer. Meg Ryan was even worse. Some of her cutesy expressions where she tries to seem like a lost puppy are likely to cause cringing. Meg Ryan appears to be posing for the camera most of the time. Even Sean Connery was a little off at times.This is truly an example of bad cinema. There are plenty of films that I do not like but can see how various other types of people might well enjoy them. But I can't for the life of me figure out how anyone could see anything of value in this film.Do yourself a favor and skip this one. There is no need for anyone to see this as far as I can tell. There are at least 1,000 other films that you haven't seen yet that are better than this one, and chances are that seeing almost any other film would be a better use of your time.
