Script treatment pitch

Emilio Estevez and Carl Weathers play Lt. Willem Sparks and Emmit Stronghold, two cops on the brink of retirement.

Stronghold Shouting: "I'M TOO OLD FOR YOUR MOTHERFUCKING SHIT!"

Sparks cringes before hopping up and dispatching two low level terrorist thugs, with expert marksmanship. The room is silence, gunsmoke rising and the room a glittering pile of glass shards mixed with priceless gems. Sparks pounds his chest, as if he forgets he is still holding a 45.

Sparks: "Emmit, I told you, goddammit! Don't ever talk about my mother!"
