If you are interested in the technical aspect of movie-making this is an interesting movie. It's an low budget picture that looks really good. The lighting is spectacular and director Russell Mulcahy deserves a praise for this. This movie utilize some of the best lighting I've seen. They've used lots of colored, cleverly placed, spotlights to enhance the walls. This level of professionalism is unusual for a B-class movie.
Unfortunately EVERYTHING ELSE sucks. The acting , the action , the dialogues , but mostly the plot. Some of the over excited Lundgren fans compare this to "Reservoir dogs" and say that this movie has a very clever plot. I'm sorry , but what plot ?! There is no explanation for what is going on and why. Who was assassinated in the flashback and why ? What's with the road massacre ? Why give another assignment to a person that failed you before ? The movie tries to put some existentialism in it , but it feels flat and unconvincing. I appreciate the ambition , but it just didn't work out . The movie is shallow and no fun.
I give it 1/10.
