Midnight Cop (German: Killing Blue) is a 1988 drama film directed by Peter Patzak,[1] made in Germany.
The film, which has many humorous moments, is set in Berlin, and concerns a burnt-out (and somewhat corrupt) police detective[a] Alex Glass (Armin Mueller-Stahl), and his glamorous new assistant, Shirley May (Julia Kent [de]), who are on the trail of a drug ring, the leader of which, Miskowski (Frank Stallone), is suspected of several murders.
First is a 16-year old ballet dancer Ines Berger (Constanze Rahn) who has been killed with a heroin overdose.
Glass, unaware of his friend's involvement, spreads the misinformation that Miskowski is recovering in hospital.
The 3:2 film, with its German dialogue dubbed into English, was distributed in Australia by Showtime DVD as a two-for-one PAL disc entitled "Action", along with Slipstream starring Bill Paxton and Mark Hamill.
