Does It Hold Up
Back in the early days of this guide, I said, "Your local video store should have thrown it away, but maybe they didn't." This always was a terrible movie that he did for the money, the kind of empty action flick that's easy to dub in a million languages and then they hope it will make money in countries where moviegoers are less discerning.
2 Reasons to See It
1. You're on a mission to see every Billy Zane movie ever made.
2. You are being held at gunpoint.
Overall
Dreadful.
If You Like It
