Really cool sci-fi movie.


This is a must see for the sci-fi lover. Although released in 1990, 80's motifs are everywhere. From the hair styles,clothes and the 1987 or 88 Monte Carlo driven by Cane himself. There is enough action to keep you occupied and a pretty decent storyline. I think this is one that never got the recognition it deserved.

I agree...

For me, this was Dolph's most polished movie ever!

I concur, one of Dolphs finest movies!

Didn't it occur to you that it was filmed and even completed in 1989? Films take time to made and getting released.

That doesn't matter either since the world didn't suddenly change on January the 1st 1990.

The 80s as we think of them in terms of fashion and popular culture lasted from about 1984 to 1993. Look at the OJ simpson trial, the reporters all have big hair and shoulder pads etc.

I was pleasantly surprised how good this film is.When I started watching it I thought I just give it 5 minutes,just another 80's film staring a action actor,but I was taken in by it from the start.Even though dolf's acting range is a some what limited so to speak,I quickly found he was perfect for the 'silent cop,kick arse'role.His partner was surprisingly good with him.They complemented each over perfectly.
It reminded me so much of Arnies 'The Predator' in the way the story and careful direction was in developing the story.One of the best films I've seen on telly for ages!
