A Very Entertaining Piece of Film

After an heiress (Linda Blair) is kidnapped by some Colombians and brought to Mexico, three bail bondsmen must rescue her in order to collect their fees. But don't expect it to be easy when you're dealing with drug-running, gun-toting Colombians! Now, some people are quick to dismiss this as a Hasselhoff film with poor video quality. Which, of course, it is. But if you look past the video quality you see a really well-written, fun film.

Hasselhoff is dashing and funny, his mullet flowing in the wind. His two assistants, Blue and Bean, are equally amusing. Their boss is great -- and then Linda Blair! Oh my! Where else will you find this much talent and excitement packed into under two hours? Nowhere! Better than almost any Chuck Norris film you're going to find, Hasselhoff delivers. On land, by sea or in the air... you can't stop him from catching you and still having time to finish his game of tennis. Worth a viewing.
