As a follow up to the iconic 'in the heat of the night', it was never going to measure up. But even taken as a stand-alone police procedural, it's pretty weak, the story is less than tv episode quality, the pacing relies too much on chase sequences to pad out the time, and the final reveal is cheap and unsatisfying.
There is an Interesting family drama storyline showing his struggles with his children, but that's left unresolved.
The only real attraction to this movie is that's the middle part of the Tibbs Trilogy. It doesn't stand on its own.
