Total Garbage!, 15 October 2001
1/10
Author: dgordon-1 from Toronto, Canada

This movie has to be one of the most boring and lame movies of the '80s. I couldn't remember what it was about after seeing it back in 1984. It was on one of the movie channels a couple of years ago, and it was still bad. I thought it might get better with time. I remember at the Drive-in where I saw it, it was very dark, and could not be seen properly. On TV, it was just as bad. Most of the movie takes place at night. The plot is all over the place, and the characters are forgettable. Being a fan of action/thriller movies, this one is a big disappointment!
