The Laughing Policeman
When a gunman opens fire on a crowded city bus in San Francisco, Detective Dave Evans is killed, along with the man he'd been following in relation to a murder. Evans' partner, Sgt. Jake Martin, becomes obsessed with solving the case.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie is a crime thriller with no discernible connection to Christmas themes, plot development, or setting, despite its release year coinciding with the holiday season. All indicators point to it not being a Christmas movie."
