About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want loud, straightforward 80s vigilante-style action with a tough-cop lead and lots of chases; Not for you if you need originality, subtlety, or a grounded story like Death Wish 3.
Pros: nonstop 80s action; quotable tough-guy attitude; guilty-pleasure fun | Cons: thin predictable plot; corny dialogue; uneven acting
