    "You can't run from an AK-47, blessed by the Lord!"

    The title was an excellent line, delivered by one crazy priest but there is little else to recommend this sub-standard, awful thriller. Can't believe such competent actors such as Ron Silver, C.Plummer and James Coburn, are actually in this. It's really a poor effort and relegated to the trade pile.
