Rating: 5.0
Simple, but EFFECTIVE
This surprisingly stunning movie was really just something I rented, because I had seen everything else. I needed to watch a good movie, and not the commercial junk with overated computer graphics. Then I saw this one. They only had one copy of this movie in the store, so I thought that this would have to be a low-budget movie. "Why the heck not" I said to myself, and picked it up.I've never regreted that choice in all my life.What struck me, was an action movie with a poetic heart. In all the excellent shooting, there is an "in between the lines" essence of the beauty of life, portrayed differently in the many characters in the movie. Good acting by some, great acting by most. Ice-T does a good job playing the "bad guy", and I'm tempted to say that this is one of Christopher Lamberts finest pieces of work.The ending of the movie, will probably disappoint some, but look between the lines here too, and also here you'll find that everything about this movie wreaks of excellence. You'll actually probably also come to the conclusion that the movie couldn't have ended better. This one is a true classic, and I am surprised it didn't get more storm than it got on its release. Well, let me just uproar a storm, and tell you to watch this movie. Action, humour, drama, heck it's got it all, and then some. Highly recommended warm hearted action movie!
