There's no doubt some cult appeal here, but I'd never heard of this film before, and I'm not big on cheesy 80s cinema, so whatever appeal there is went completely past me. All I could see was a terribly acted, ridiculously scripted action film that never felt like it was deliberately funny.

It's hard to explain how bad Fred Ward is in this film, but it comes very close to Tommy Wiseau levels of shame. It's also crazy they managed to stretch a simple flick like this beyond the two-hour mark, as to make matters worse, the action scenes aren't even any good. Unless you love bad cinema, it's probably best to just skip this one.
