Off Limits (1988)
Being a cop is tough. But in Saigon, 1968, being a cop is crazy.
McGriff and Albaby are probably doing the worst law enforcement job in the world - they are plain clothes U.S. military policemen on duty in war-time Saigon.

Their prime suspect is high ranking U.S. Army officer which brings their lives in danger.
