A B-Movie Full of Clichés, 2 December 2003
5/10
Author: Claudio Carvalho from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Nick Randall (Rutger Hauer) is a bounty hunter. He chases `very bad guys', gets the reward and is saving for buying a vessel. He intends to retire and travel around the world with his girl friend. He is assigned to catch an evil terrorist, Malak Al Rahim (Gene Simmons), who has killed more than 140 persons in his last explosion of a movie theater, and intends to blow-up a chemical facility and kill thirty thousand persons. This is an authentic B-movie full of clichés. The plot is totally predictable, but supported by good actors. It may be watched only for killing time. My vote is five.
