3.0 out of 5 stars Rather predictable, but certainly not bad., February 16, 2000

This review is from: Blast [VHS] (VHS Tape)

On the whole, this is the sort of action movie that comes to the public by the hundreds. A group of evil terrorists take a couple of helpless girls hostage, a burned out, stand-alone hero saves the day and that is about it as far as the plot is concerned. However, as far as the standard formula goes, it is quite well done. For one thing, a number of hosages actually gets killed, making the story more realistic then usual. For another, the cast seriously tries to develope the characters they are supposed to play. Handicapped by the rather two-dimensional script they do not succeed completely, but at least the intention is there. The rest of the movie is made up out of explosions, some good martial arts and even the occasional comic releave. ( A legless Hauer floating in the water is quite a funny sight ). All in all, nothing special, but quite worth watching.

Just before the games are about to begin at the Atlanta Olympics, a deadly team of terrorists led by Kalal (Andrew Divoff) mount a precision attack on the Aquatic Center and succeed in taking the US Womens Swimming team hostage. The terrorists seal off the center and wire all the exits with powerful explosives. Unbeknownest to them, they have also missed a janitor (Linden Ashby) whom is trapped in the sprawling complex. Working against the clock, the FBI enlists the help of the mysterious Leo (Rutger Hauer), who coordinates his efforts with the trapped janitor to stop the terrorists in their tracks.
