An underrated movie

Honestly, I wasn't expecting much from this flick but since I have a weak spot for Sylvester Stallone, I thought I should give it a try. Back then, at the end of the 90's, Stallone's career was not doing so well and, indeed, most of his movies were pretty average and usually flopped at the box-office. So, considering this, I had some rather low expectations before watching this flick. Eventually, I must say I was actually pleasantly surprised. I mean, it is not a masterpiece or anything like this but it is in fact easily one of the most entertaining movies starring Stallone I have seen for many years. First of all, there was a decent cast (Sylvester Stallone, Amy Brenneman, Viggo Mortensen, Dan Hedaya) and even Stallone managed to give a decent performance. On top of that, the actions were pretty spectacular and, for once, the whole thing was not completely preposterous. So, against all expectations, you had here a decent plot, some cool actions scenes and some convincing actors. To conclude, it is a rather unknown and underrated action flick but I think it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in Sylvester Stallone's work.
