I'm not a fan. His movies are generally awful, but this was kind of fun in a dumb dort of way. The film has a ridiculous idea not worth repeating and also every cliche in the action book.
Lorenzo "look at my biceps and my lovely hair" Lamas poses his way through various fist fights and gun battles. The is some decent action there though that makes the film watchable. The fights in particular showcase Lorenzo's Martial arts skills.
Overall this is worth the 3 pound I paid for it on DVD. This is a good friday night after the pub movie, at home with your mates and a curry, when you don't want meaningful entertainment of any kind. When you want to see the sort of film that is inane and generally cheap and tacky. **

First, understand that Lamas will never get a compliment out of me in regards to his acting. He just can't. This movie, however, was probably his best one. He is a cop who is also a martial arts expert and knows how to speak Cambodian. While assisting another agency on a case involving Oriental gangsters, he becomes involved in a sinister criminal plot that eventually endangers himself, his friends, and his family.
The plot is fairly familiar, but still workable. This movie also lets Lorenzo display his martial arts skill, which is considerable. That must be given to his credit. He should do more movies like this one and he would probably be a greater success. Hey, if Jean-Claude could, why not Lorenzo? Overall, this is a pretty good movie: entertaining, good action, decent bad guys, okay hero. Not outstanding, but still entertaining.
