| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzSucceeding only in living up to the brutal expectations of its title by delivering the goods. |
| eFilmCritic.comScott WeinbergThe movie that failed to turn Griffith into the next big action star. |
| User ReviewBellaRay ?I love this movie TIG is so hot when he kicks ass! |
| User ReviewBrendan PA straight ahead, in your face, asskicking action movie. Not your typical martial arts movie, it's more of a cop movie with some good fight scenes. Kind of like The Transporter in a way. |
| User ReviewMike FThis is a lost classic from the "goofy action movies about cops/soldiers/ex-cops/ex-soldiers who are thought to be corrupt but are in fact clean, and thus need help from a hot chick and their own skills to clear their name in the 80's or early 90's" genre of cinema. Thomas Ian Griffith went on to play the lead vampire in John Carpenter's Vampires, while James Earl Jones, Lance Henriksen, Burt Young, and Tony Todd all collected paychecks. Lots of bodies, several bad lines (including "Game time" at the beginning of a fight), four boobs, and one kitten (the feline kind). Classic. |
| User ReviewDean MGood cast and an unexpected, eleventh-hour snap of the tail enliven this otherwise standard kill-or-be-killed actionfest. Plenty of kicks and licks and enough intelligent plotting to furrow a few brows. |
| User ReviewIda KStarring, written, and produced by Terry Silver. |
| User ReviewMichael WCliched maverick cop thriller. It's not great, but is a great example of a lower-budget film from this genre from the early 90's era, including the constantly dramatic soundtrack that would only be used for parody nowadays. |

| User ReviewJared SA movie so bad that the cast looks embarrised especially (James Earl Jones and Burt Young) Lance Henriksen is the only spark that keeps it above the 1/5 and even his presence can't make up for this bad movie Thomas Ian Griffith is bad no he's so bad that he makes Steven Seagal look like Al Pacino , Van Damme like Robert De Niro and Dolph Lundgren look like Marlon Brando, but Griffith's Problem is that he's too weak Plot Summary: A group of Chicago cops are involved in a raid from which $3,000,000 disappears.
