Good B-movie, especially recommended for Don Johnson fans. Loner cop takes on white supremacists. Bad copy of Lethal Weapon / Die Hard, yet still enjoyable to watch.

Don Johnson plays a washed out cop, with a broken up marriage and lots of reprimands for violent behaviour on the job. He doesnt care, he just wants to nail bad guys to the wall. In this movie the bad guys are a group of white supremacists who shot an LA cop. Don Johnson is out to get the killers.

Director John Frankenheimer is known for making good B-action movies, with great leading characters in it, who are cool, tough and capable of splurting out many funny oneliners. Yes, everything about this picture has that recognizable cheap B-movie feel to it, but that doesnt spoil the fun, as long as you dont expect to see anything original.

Specially recommended for Don Johnson fans from the eighties, because this actor has proven to be capable of making many reasonably good action thrillers. Yet all of these Don Johnson movies often have a cheap B-,movie feel to it, which I am not really bothered by though, because these B-movies deliver lots of good action combined with funny, cool oneliners. And that's all I am asking for in a good action movie. This is one of them: lots of action and an underdog conquering the bad guys. YEAH!

score 6/10
