Veteran cop Nick Pulovski is used to playing musical partners; many of the partners he's had in the past have died on the job, and often as a result of Nick's risky tactics. But the rookie who's been assigned to help Nick bust a carjacking ring is almost as hotheaded as he is … and when Nick gets kidnapped, his newbie partner is his only hope.

Editor's Verdict

❌NO

"The movie is a 1990 action/crime thriller whose plot revolves entirely around a police partnership, carjacking rings, and a kidnapping. While it had a holiday release, there are no discernible narrative, thematic, or iconic connections to Christmas in the provided plot summary or genre."
