This is a classic transitional 80's action cop drama starring none other than Sly Stallone. Battling an international terrorist on the streets of NYC is no easy task but being the one-talent actor that he is, Stallone summons up the will to take down Wulfgar. There are some great quotable lines.

Even with the brilliant role of Rutger Hauer, this film gradually loses its effect. The beginning in the Bronx is very strong indeed, but at the end of the movie, you feel they ran out of ammo. I still think this is a pretty good police movie. Jamie Gillis is a sleazy fashion house manager in a brief scene, and Joe Spinelli can be seen in what could be described as a late Spinelli typecasting: a p... read more

Conservative street cop DaSilva reluctantly agrees to terminate an international terrorist who has demanded media attention. But DaSilva's "at-home" tactics are very much put to the challenge.

"Sylvester Stallone pukeutuu täti Monikan markkinakamppeisiin ja nalkittaa nykiläisiä ryöstöaikeisia katunilkkejä dude looks like a lady -toimintaperiaatteella yhdessä poliisiparinsa Billy Dee Williamsin kanssa. Toiminnassa ei ole mitään järkeä, jos sitä miettii sekunnin pidempään. Rutger Hauer on tosi paha eurooppalainen terroristi Wolfgar, oikea jenkkien kauhukuva eurooppalaisesta: sivistynyt, kielitaitoinen, tyylikkäästi pukeutunut ja komea maailmankansalainen, joka on kuitenki"
