Plot

A tough-on-crime street cop must protect the only surviving witness to a strange murderous cult with far reaching plans.

Sinekatalog’s take

A mirror-shaded cop takes on a murderous cult in a loud, macho slab of eighties excess. It is cheesy, stylised and hardly subtle, but the gruff attitude and relentless pace have a retro charm. Pure guilty pleasure.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
