1.0 out of 5 stars
Why was this film necessary?, February 22, 2001
By A Customer
This is one of those movies that turned up on cable and I couldn't help but watch simply to make fun of. A terrible, predictable, poorly acted, horribly scripted carton of eggs dropped on the floor excuse for a film.
Yes, I can accept it's in the action genre - typically many are challenged - but this used every cliche possible at least twice and was completely uninteresting the whole way through. Yes, there's a handsome male lead who happens to have a gorgeous girlfriend despite the fact that he has a horrible job... and yes, he is an ex-solider trying to hide his past. Yes, they have perfect sex (you know... slow, showing only breast, both looking DEEPLY into each other's eyes... pheh!) Yes, his morally bankrupt former commander comes out of the woodwork (despite being thought dead, oo!) and makes him face his past.
I don't want to give anymore of this less-than-thrilling plot away lest you have any inkling to watch it... but try to find a copy of Boondock Saints (from Canada) or get I Come In Peace with Dolph Lundgren and Brian Benben... they at least have a sense of humor.

Sexy plot twister thriller, February 3, 1999
By A Customer
Expect the unexpected in this movie. Burt Reynolds is so convincing as a cold,robotlike assassin. Krista Allen gives a natural, dynamic, top grade performance. If action, a storyline and beautiful women are what you want in a movie, this will be in your top shelf in your DVD library!

Burt Reynolds and Krista Allen keep this movie interesting., August 4, 1999
If it were not for the talent and beauty of Krista Allen, this movie would be a bomb. Burt Reynolds as the evil commander, makes this one of his best roles in recent memory.
