aka Slow Burn
Pam Grier plays a single mom who’s also a Chicago detective, firm but loving towards her kids, tough and uncompromising on the job. When a case involving a dead woman in a suitcase ruins her day she takes aspects from many of her previous roles and rolls them together into something less than the sum of its parts while trying to solve it.
The script attempts a balance of seriousness and light heartened comedy that doesn't quite succeed, but at least it gives the film some kind of identity. The editor tries to spice it up further but the choice of musical accompaniment undoes most of the hard work.
