Nothing outstanding, but also not terrible

I know it was made it 1998, but this movie is so 80s it almost hurts, but that's probably because it's a straight-to-video thing complete with all the usual 80s cliches - hammy over-acting, angry/rogue cop, Yakuza assassins, revolvers with infinite ammo unless the scene requires them to be empty for Dramatic Reasons...but somehow it manages to rise above the cliches to at least be worth watching.Michael Biehn is in fine form as the Angry/Rogue Cop in America, with Park Joong-Hoon joining him from as the Specially Assigned Asian Cop sent from Korea to help investigate killings in a Mafia vs Yakuza war. Two other cast members are the ICONIC Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa as the head of the local Yakuza, and Hiro Kanagawa as one of his underlings.Honestly, you know pretty much exactly what you're getting here, and that's not necessarily a bad thing because at least it IS fun. Yes, it could have been better, but it could also have been a LOT worse.

it s*cks

If you are into the fighting-shooting all the time cr*p, then you could watch this. Otherwise, don't bother. Two cops, a tough american and a korean, are "forced" to work at a murder case. Of course they despise each other at the beginning and, of course, this situation will change very soon. Lots of action scenes, well done, but that's it. Vote: 4 out of 10.
