a great ride

Rating: Null/10 (14 February 2002)

Gripping, suspenseful, violent and action-packed thriller centers around a group of hardened, elite Special Forces commandos who are on a covert mission to rescue some prominent government officials in the Central American jungle. Led by Schwarzenegger, and accompanied by CIA correspondent Weathers, they soon find themselves being targeted by a merciless, high-tech alien that makes trophies of man. Takes time getting started but once it does hang on! It's a macho, energetic, edge of your seat thrill ride with non-stop action, suspense, and sophistication. One of Arnold's best, and a great model for the "survival" genre. ***
