The eighties curse:how many movies have been made,featuring the tough guy ,single-handedly taming and finally killing a bunch of baddies? You're going to tell me that Scott Glenn is a much better actor than SS, Arnold and co:that's true and he looks sometimes jaded,depressed,and even moving.But it's the same old story all over again:the little girl,the daughter of rich wealthy Italians is kidnapped by villains and so begins the task.
Main objections:why ,when the movie takes place in Italy and only one character is American ,does almost everyone speak English in the original version?This is not natural,particularly for the girlie ;why were the prologue and the epilogue filmed in slow motion:it does not bring anything.
It's Elie Chouraqui's first thriller.his first works were mediocre comedies ("paroles et musique" featuring Catherine Deneuve)
