Viewing Notes

The action scenes in this are often edited in such a non-sensical way that you lose all understanding of the sequence of events but it turns out that it doesn’t matter because it’s all so frenetic and so much stuff blows up all the time that you just kind of sit back and revel in it. This basically feels like a mid-eighties Cannon Films release but with an even more coked up pyrotechnics team. It does go on for too long, with the final action scene in particular wearing out its welcome before getting to the exploding helicopter finale, but overall this is pretty fun.
