***SPOILERS*** The usual 1990's action revenge flick made a bit more interesting with Brian "Boz" Bonsworth staring in it as tough but sensitive in that he feels that killing is bad, but someone's got to do it, US Army drill Sergent and martial arts expert John North. A dude that you don't mess around with; especially with those close to him in that's what a group of in house terrorist arms dealers do and end up paying for it big time.
Lead by the guy with a ring in his nose dirty Federal Agent Karl Savak played by Bruce Payne who looks more like the famous, with his Samson or lion like mane, Fabio then a movie bad guy who are out to get the latest US military weaponry and sell it to this highest bidder regardless to who he's selling them to. Lead by one of Savak's goons the scuzzy looking Marcus, Jeff Kober, that while robbing a US Army supply truck killed North's wife and kidnapped his 6 year old daughter who later died from her wounds. North himself was badly wounded trying to negotiate their release soon, after two months recovers from his wounds, which to him were nothing but a few bee stings, and is out for revenge. Even though he's really against violence in this case he makes an exception and by the time the movie is over North ends up wiping out both Savak's as well as his rival Dexter Kane's, M.C Hammer, drug and weapon trafficking rings.
***SPOILERS*** despite trying to show some sensitivity in his role as tough Sgt. North The "Boz" only excels in the action scenes that he's in which make the film worth watching in the first place. The "Boz" or Sgt. North is also given a young street-wise sidekick 12 year old Mikey Adams, DeJuan Guy,who he tries to straighten out in keeping him from becoming a future gang banger. But his actions, that are anything but peaceful, doesn't help any is showing Mikey how to change his mind. It's in his final slug fest with Savak that North/The Boz pulls his punches in not trying to do him in just for the sake of Mikey-whom Savak is holding hostage- and almost gets killed by doing it. But Savak saves the day for North in his eagerness to finish him off, by pushing him off a 20 story building, and ends up doing himself in instead.
