#308 Short Time

from Dissecting The 80s · host Tripp and Andrew Laino

A bit of an odd duck from 1990: Dabney Coleman's leading turn in Short Time, the tale of a cop who thinks he's dying and needs to die on duty to earn his life insurance. Is this just Last Holiday? Why has this not been remade yet? Why can't this movie pick a lane? All this and more! Want more Dissecting the 80s?
