SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
This grimy, high-energy alien-cop thriller closely matches The Hidden’s odd-couple law-enforcement dynamic, Los Angeles action pulse, and deadpan collision of sci-fi menace with action-movie excess.
02
Why this pick
A rain-soaked future police hunt delivers the same muscular B-movie blend of detective procedure, monstrous threat, gallows humor, and escalating urban mayhem.
03
Why this pick
Its mismatched cops, outrageous supernatural premise, practical-effects carnage, and knowingly pulpy momentum make it an especially compatible late-’80s companion.
04
Why this pick
A hard-edged detective faces a seemingly impossible killer in a supernatural cat-and-mouse thriller with the same era-specific sleaze, urgency, and genre hybridity.
05
Why this pick
This nocturnal New York thriller shares The Hidden’s premise of authority turned frighteningly dangerous, its brisk police-investigation structure, and its unpretentious practical-action energy.

01 / THE STORY
Jack DeVries (Chris Mulkey), a quiet citizen with no criminal past, robs a Los Angeles Wells Fargo bank, kills all of the security guards inside, and leads the Los Angeles Police Department on a high-speed chase. The chase ends when DeVries encounters a police blockade overseen by Detective Thomas Beck (Michael Nouri). DeVries is shot several times, smashes through the blockade and crashes the Ferrari he is driving. DeVries is taken to a hospital, where a doctor informs Beck and his partner, Det. Cliff Willis (Ed O'Ross) that DeVries is not expected to survive the night.
