    Your basic mindless action flick. It was fun at first, because it had cool rock climbing in it. Once the bad guys showed up, it basically became a "how can we kills loads of bad guys" movie.

    Sly's best out and out action film. It is a superbly enjoyable movie with some interesting characters, solid performances and Renny Harlins direction is stylishly assured.

This was one of the best action films of the year and one of the most thrilling and enjoyable of the 90's, a definite genre classic. As a Stallone fan this is one I look back on with fond memories.

The film looks great and there is great support from Janine Turner, Michael Rooker and John Lithgow.
