Director: Charles Wilkinson
review by Christopher Geary
Definitely not to be confused with David Cronenberg's adaptation
of J.G. Ballard's cult SF novel, this fairly bog-standard actioner teams a petty
crook (Michael Biehn) with a glamorous undercover cop (Leilani Sarelle Ferrer, of
Basic Instinct fame), against a horde of heavily armed villains, led by blond
Russian giant (Miguel Sandoval). Besides our heroes lives, what's at stake here is an
untraceably cool 40 million dollars, and a money launderer's neck - if he (Matt
Craven) fails to meet those vital, regular payments to top mafia guy, Ed Lauter. We
have been here before, and many times, too. But at least the thoroughly professional
cast give of their best, to brighten up the dull exposition and generate a human
charge within the frequent and, of course, typically humourless, scenes of gunplay.
