UNREASONABLE FORCE
Kelly Brooks is a single working mother, trying to stay healthy so that she can care for her five year old daughter, Lisa.
She's also the youngest Homicide Detective on the police force.
Kelly's plans to lead a long and healthy life change drastically when she's partnered with Harry Keaton, the department gunslinger. Harry's last six partners were either killed in the line of duty or hauled away in ambulances. Where Harry goes, trouble follows.
Already, they're taking bets in the squad room to see how long Kelly survives.
Harry Keaton is on his best behavior. He's been told if his partner is injured, or if he uses "unreasonable" force, he'll be suspended or fired. But trouble follows Harry.
When they investigate the murder of a Politician's wife during a restaurant hold up, they uncover a dangerous conspiracy...
A group of arms merchants is cashing in on the ban on assault rifles by shipping several barges of weapons right into the city harbor. Not just any weapons, these are Glock P-l00s, made of 100% space age high impact plastics developed by NASA. Machine pistols which can by-pass any metal detectors or x-ray machines; for use in airports, courtrooms, or even The White House. Kelly and Harry must race against time to stop the shipment.
Through car chases, shoot outs, sniper attacks, boat chases, and fist fights, Harry and Kelly must learn to work together in order to survive. And with Harry, that ain't easy.
"UNREASONABLE FORCE" is a fast paced action script with comic and relationship elements, about a single mom detective who must teach a gunslinger cop to control his anger in order to survive. In the tradition of "Lethal Weapon" and "48 Hours".
