A bomb has been planted somewhere within. Frank Glass (Steven Seagal) is in charge of the bomb squad out to defuse it. Alas, once it seems they've succeeded, they turn out to have defused a decoy bomb, and the real bomb explodes anyway.A year later, in San Francisco, two cops — Ray Nettles (Tom Sizemore) and his partner Art "Fuzzy" Rice (Nas) are driving around talking. Nettles and Fuzzy are narcotics cops. Nettles is a cop on the edge. His wife and son were killed by a bomb. Ever since then, he has lost his enthusiasm for his job, hygiene, and life in general. When the two are dispatched to a crime scene where Irish mad bomber Alex Swann (Dennis Hopper) and his gang are hiding; Fuzzy ends up getting killed and one of the gang, scientist Claire (Jaime Pressly) is arrested. Swann escapes. He starts planting bombs all over the city, and demands that unless the police release Claire, he will detonate one every hour, killing hundreds of civilians. Nettles and Glass team up to stop him.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

 Black Dude Dies First: Not counting the flashback at the beginning, which has very little bearing on the rest of the plot, Fuzzy is the first named character to die.

 Bomb Disposal: The main theme of the film. It gets discussed early on by Nettles and Glass, as the former accuses the bomb disposal squad of being content to sit on their asses and let people get blown up, while the latter points out that finding the bombs is the job of the detectives, and that the disposal squad can't actually do anything until it's found.

 Anti-Climax: Ends with Nettles and Glass placidly defusing two bombs whilst mumbling to each other in hushed tones, succeeding, and then strolling about in the night by what appears to be some big stadium.
