Good action movie for the time worth watching
It was good/ entertaining… one is enough. I don’t think I’ll be watching 2 or 3
I thought it was ok if not a little boring and predictable. The age is starting to show and not all the characters are likeable
Stands out from other contemporary action for certain bizarre moments, and I don't feel bad rewatching this one at all.
Well done thriller. I like Berenger in this.
It’s like if kindergarten cop and rambo had an emo baby.
Great, though a somewhat forgettable, violent 90s action film. Pulls no punches.
Wish Berenger was in more stuff, cause this was a good movie and he did really well. Hudson as the villain was a nice surprise
A pretty silly premise for a pretty boring action movie. How did more than one of these get made?
It's alright, nothing extraordinary.
