About Long Hello and Short Goodbye
The cop Kahnitz wants to finish off the little gangster Ben. The young undercover policewoman Melody is supposed to tempt him to make his final break.

But the intriguing game of love, hate, crime and betrayal inevitably drags everyone involved into a bloody showdown...

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1999.

Knowing that a ride along will demonstrate if Ben has what it takes to take care of his sister, James invites him on a shift designed to scare the hell out of the trainee.
