He leaves the force and returns to his old gritty South Central neighborhood to help Rebecca Sanchez find her brother Carlos who has mysteriously disappeared shortly after a gang truce, between the African-American gang the Blades and the Latin Lords, begins disintegrating thanks to a number of drive-by shootings in either territory. The cop's investigation soon reveals that both gangs are being manipulated by a third party. Poor Carlos seems to hold the key and finds his life in grave danger. When the cop figures it all out, his life is also jeopardized. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Derek D

Expands on Speakman's role in The Perfect Weapon just a bit by adding guns and the completely original early 90's storyline involving gangs and turfwars. Not too bad, but not very memorable.
Dean M

Cool action-thriller with Jeff Speakman as a retired cop forced back into action when a mysterious group attempts to incite rival gangs into war. There's more plot than usual, so martial-artist Speakman has more to do than beat up the bad guys, led by Christopher Neame.
