This had Class B written all over it, yet it was still very entertaining and not a bad action film. For an R-rated film, it was surprisingly free of some things you normally see and hear. Some of the scenes in the bars were crude and the beginning had Rambo-like violence with little credibility, but the majority of this was a well-done film.

A big thing it had going for it: it should keep everyone's interest all the way. It certainly did with me. This is an unknown movie, a real "sleeper." You can kind of guess that since there are only three of us who have reviewed it, as of this writing.

The opening scene is real attention-grabber: six minutes of almost no dialog and some intense action.

The lead actor, Terrence Knox, is not someone I was familiar with, but he was okay. I was sorry David Warner didn't have more lines as he's usually interesting and I was surprised Yaphet Kotto's character kept his cool. I kept waiting for him to blow up.

Note: the cover on the VHS box is misleading. They show the hero being dragged by a truck. In the film, that happens to the bad guy, not him.

this is an awesome movie with terrence knox (tvs sgt anderson from tour of duty) ,david warner...so cool, and even an appearance by tommy chong...buy this it is great.

Absolutely low budget flick and not worth watching. Viggo Mortensen has a cameo role and a few lines. But it is a pity to watch.

An ATF agent, after being pushed too far and being dropped from the agency, continues the search for the persons that killed his estranged wife and kidnapped his son. Rare but excellent love scene with Terence Knox. Great ending.
