Rutger Hauers worst to date

I found this movie on the bottom shelf of my local videostore and decided to give it a try. Since I am a great fan of Rutger Hauer i didnt hesitate long. To be completely honest this is one of the worst movies I have seen in a very long time. Bad acting, uninteresting story, no special effects in the "action" sequences and poorly edited. One can only hope that Rutger got paid a great deal to star in this garbage.
