*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR ROCKET LAUNCHER TRIP WIRE *** I know, I know, there are a number of things wrong with this movie. Despite that, I find that I enjoyed most of it. Maybe I just like watching Arnold grow up in Hollywood. The dialogue, for the most part, is an improvement over what I've seen in his other films. And the action, even where it is the least plausible, seems slightly tongue in cheek and can be taken at face value as entertainment. If you can look past a staggering amount of violence and bloodshed you should probably see this one. No beasts, two breasts, hundreds of dead bodies, three tanker cars full of blood, kung fu, muscle-man fu, bimbo fu, ultra high mileage chase scene, gratuitous detective work. At **1/2 Terry-Bob says check it out. terry mason ( As usual, should you or any of your film review crew be captured or killed John Fluke Mfg. will disavow any knowledge of your actions. )

You have to be a fan of old Arnold the Language Mangler to like this one, but then aren't we all? Action was pretty good, there was the proper amount of gushing blood (remember Monty Python and the Holy Grail with the knight who gets dismembered? That is 100 on our scale. Commando was about 60.), all in all I give it 3 explosions. (boom boom) Shiva, Amdahl
