Rent-a-Cop (1987)

In the grimy underbelly of a city teeming with vice, Della, a hardened call-girl, finds herself ensnared in a lethal crossfire at a clandestine hotel rendezvous. The encounter, originally intended as a simple transaction, spirals into a volatile drug bust involving ruthless dealers, corrupt vice cops, and a mysterious robber, who takes Della hostage in the ensuing chaos. The volatile scenario is further complicated when the enigmatic Tony Church, a disgraced detective turned security guard, intervenes. Accused of orchestrating the botched sting operation, Church is a man burdened by his past and a reputation tarnished by scandal. Meanwhile, ex-ballplayer turned sinister drug dealer, Roger, dances on the strings of corruption, manipulating vice cops and their superiors alike, igniting a fuse that threatens to blow the city's underbelly wide open. With Della as the sole witness able to identify the masked killer who disrupted the drug sting, the unlikely duo of Church and Della form an uneasy alliance. The narrative weaves a thrilling tapestry of danger, corruption, and redemption as Church, navigating his new existence as a store rent-a-cop, and Della, trapped in the throes of the city's seedy underworld, unite to seek justice against the shadowy figure who upended their lives. In a city where trust is a currency more valuable than gold, can this unlikely duo unearth the truth buried in deceit and bring the elusive killer to justice? Rent-a-Cop is a gritty exploration of survival, corruption, and the unlikeliest of alliances forged in the crucible of crime.
