Poor. Not even Donald Pleasence could save it.


The film is a mess. Donald Pleasence is watchable chewing up the scenery but apart from that everything else is just lackluster and quite frankly boring. A miss on all counts. Shame.

I kind of liked it. It was a good actioner. Nothing earth shattering.

I disagree, he yells something unintelligible through-out the entire movie up until the credits are rolling. just a horrible waste of time. I had to go watch something else several times, came back to see if it had gotten any better, but there was absolutley nothing satisfying about it. 1981 was not a good year for movies.

Are you sure about 1981?

Overall I thought it was a really delightful action film with some slow down moments. It was a lot of fun.
