Against the Government

A decorated police detective, framed for a crime he didn't commit, finds himself on the run from his own department. With the help of a former informant and a determined reporter, he must race against time to uncover the conspiracy that threatens to destroy his career and expose corruption at the highest levels of the city government. He must clear his name and bring the real culprits to justice before he's silenced permanently.

Against the Government received a mixed to negative reception from critics, who often cited its predictable plot and derivative action sequences. While some acknowledged the performances of the lead actors, many found the film to be an uninspired entry into the action-thriller genre of the early 1990s. Audience response was similarly lukewarm, with many finding it to be a forgettable B-movie.

• Despite a strong cast, the film suffers from a predictable storyline.
