'Donato & Daughter' (1993) – Rod Holcomb.

A Teflon Tough Cop (Charles Bronson) and his estranged, no less resourceful Cop daughter (Dana Delaney) querulously join forces in order to capture a deranged serial killer (Xander Berkeley) in this entertainingly zippy 90s TV thriller. While the pulpy text is all too familiar, the director's pacing is brisk, the performances are engaging, and, quite frankly, I can never tire of watching the dyspeptic Don of vengeance, Charles Bronson kick ass!!!! By no means an exemplar of Bronson's inimitable felon-fragging ouvre, but well worth a boggle if you are a Bronson fan who missed this one. Gifted character actor Xander Berkeley is on smarmily sinister form as the psycho yuppie with a perverse habit of sending nuns to their maker! Another fine synth score from Sylvester Levay keeps this gripping L.A. Set procedural ticking along nicely until its satisfyingly dramatic conclusion.
