Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDon Johnson's first attempt to establish himself as a film action star. His commitments to Miami Vice (1984) prevented him from accepting high-profile genre films such as The Untouchables (1987) and Die Hard (1988). Johnson was able to make this film in part due to the 1988 Writer's Guild of America strike delaying production on Miami Vice's fifth and final season.
- Quotes
Jerry Beck: Come on, Kressler, open your eyes. These people aren't a rag tag bunch of yahoos that drink beer and run around in sheets on Saturday night. They've got money behind them. They've got strong pockets of community support.
Arthur Kressler: No proof. You don't know that for sure.
Jerry Beck: The hell I don't. We just walked out of one. Who the fuck do you think called ahead and warned Gephardt? They were standing on the fucking porch when...
Arthur Kressler: Excuse me. As one professional to another, I would appreciate it if you minimised your constant use of profanity.
Jerry Beck: You're kidding?
Arthur Kressler: No, sir, I'm not kidding.
Jerry Beck: I'm telling you something's going on here. I'm telling you something big is happening here, and all that grabs you is my language? What the fuck is the matter with you?
Arthur Kressler: That's a good example. I'm a Christian, Beck. I'm sure that seems like probably a joke to you, but I find your language personally offensive.

The action scenes are handled very well indeed...The gunfights(are they're are a few) are not to Hollywood for my liking.
On the whole a very enjoyable movie & it shows that Don Johnson should have been a movie star.
