Viewing Notes

Final movie in our unintentional 1991 themed movie night and another banger I had not seen! Always thought this was one thing but it’s another thing to which I was pleasantly surprised. Snipes and Ice T are terrific and Nelson plays off the others really well. Colorful and occasionally goofy this is a wildly entertaining movie. Also ends with on a final gunshot scene (following Stone Cold that we just watched).
