Featured review
Entertaining.
Does exactly what it says on the tin. Former American footballer John Matuszak is a one man force to reckon with... be it through psychical altercations or ham fisted dialogue delivery. And there isn't a shortage of it, since Matuazak knows no other with his bull in a China shop tenacity. And this go for broke tenacity doesn't cop out when it came to the stunt work either. It won't disappoint.
While you can call this star vehicle clunky, and daft. Namely due to Matuszak. Still it's a highly entertaining action fare of a hot-headed renegade cop seeking vengeance for the death of his detective partner but in the process uncovering something much more bigger, and dangerous. Adding to the fun is a solid support cast to boot; Ronny Cox, Richard Lynch, Charles Napier, Sharon Farrell, Robert Tessier. Also amusingly showing up towards the end is a creative, yet fitting Pepsi product placement.
