Midnight Cop
Police Commissioner Alex Glass has been twisted into a sarcastic cynic by the hard luck story that is his life and by his daily contact with the criminals of Berlin's underground. His new assistant, Shirly Mai, is an attractive and conscientious woman who embodies a quality of virtue that her boss gave up a long time ago. They have both been assigned to solve a series of gruesome murders that have been taking place in Berlin's drug and prostitution ganglands. The prime suspect is George Miskowski, a pusher who supplies Berlin's brothels and hookers with cocaine and heroin.

Midnight Cop (German: Killing Blue) is a 1988 drama film directed by Peter Patzak, made in Germany.
== Plot ==
The film, which has many humorous moments, is set in Berlin, and concerns a burnt-out (and somewhat corrupt) police detective Alex Glass (Armin Mueller-Stahl), and his glamorous new assistant, Shirley May (Julia Kent), 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. The second is Monica (Allegra Curtis), stepdaughter of his old friend, police prosecutor Michael Carstens (Michael York). Each victim has been smeared with Vaseline, leading Glass to assume a common culprit. He drops his attitude of detached disinterest.
During a clandestine meeting, Carstens stabs Miskowski, who has been blackmailing him. Glass, unaware of his friend's involvement, spreads the misinformation that Miskowski is recovering in hospital. Carstens falls for the ploy, but has a plausible explanation for being at the hospital.
Glass and Miskowski's assistant, prostitute Lisa Osterman (Morgan Fairchild), develop a loving relationship, and he gets her to tell Carstens she has the original negatives of Miskowski's blackmail photographs. A rendezvous is arranged and this time Carstens is trapped by Glass's men.

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.
