When this movie came out, it was like the Specialist without any steamy sex scene at all. So too was that the Lethal Weapon filming crew is obvious behind the production, the director, the producer, and that mobster who got shot at the funeral plays the Chief in the Lethal Weapon films. It seems like a simple action flick comparable to a Segal or Van Damme class action flick, and with a few million bucks from Wanner Brothers, they will produce any kind of propaganda to sell their product.
While watching the making of the Matrix on DVD, producer Joel Silver actually mention about the Wachowski Brothers earlier work, which was this movie, and he mention the it was dark and edgy. It was this that led me to buy this movie on DVD, on a discounted price, Woo Hoo!!!
Although it still feels like a Segal or Van Damme class action flick, I have look deeper into the film and realize that Banderas actually performed very well than boring Stallone and Moore. The music delivers a good impact to the film and the cinematographer along with the film's editor employs their trick of the trade to deliver some smart presentation into some of the action sequences. My favorite was Banderas using a table to shield himself from an explosion.
While this may not be Wachowski Brothers best work, it is not bad considering their early attempt into Hollywood, kind of like John Woo's Hard Target starring Van Damme.
