    Let's watch Perfect Target, not Peter Pan!

    If you like adventure outside the United States, then this movie is for you! We got Mexican architect and scenery! --Conspiracy, backstabbing, multiple violent acts, rebels and comradeship; also some sexual situations, too: all-contributing to the action movie, in an interesting version. One possible obstacle is that, even though Daniel Bernhardt is very appealing, and does well at projecting toughness: because he resembles a duplicate of Jean-Claude Van Damme, settling into Bernhardt might take awhile. But this movie is better than many of Van Damme's movies, particularly when the twist arrives: when, `Senora Presidente Bitch' initiates the main gist of the story.

    Daniel Bernhardt is a truly underrated talent.

    Yes, I am a big fan of Mr. Bernhardt and his work, and this film is no exception. I couldn't ask for much more, as I felt the film's 90 minute duration, was well spent. You've got Bernhardt in the lead, followed by another underrated talent, Brian Thompson and Robert "The Man Himself" Englund, rounding out the billing in a meaty role.

    Overall, this is a well directed actioner, from, the man who made "LIONHEART", Sheldon Lettich. If you're a fan, check it out. I should know... I'm a self-taught, self-licensed grindhouse practitioner and historian... Dig It.

    A complete disgrace!

    I hated this movie to its guts! How can anybody enjoy it?! How the man who directed Double Impact and Lionheart could make such a bad movie? Daniel Bernhardt is amazing and it is a shame that he starred this piece of junk! And Robert Englund and Brian Thompson deserved better as well! Awful! Very very lame! If you want to see a good Daniel Bernhardt Movie, please, rent Bloodsport 2 and 3. Those movies have great fight sequences and are way more inspired than this one. For example, the fight scene in the end between Bernhardt and Thompson is one of the worst fights I have ever seen! Only the Princess Diaries is worse than this one!
