Not so bad, as critics in Europe told, 16 April 1999
7/10
Author: Manfred Peter Maier (hyperion_x@hyperion-film.com) from Klagenfurt, Austria

This is a good and solid german action-movie. Big star is of course Dennis Hopper, but the Straight Shooter himself is also very, very cool. There are many good action-stunts and flashbacks in the film. They are all very professional. It's not a film that you have to see, but you will not regret to visit it.

What I didn't like is, that Dennis Hopper always had some "english phrases" in the german Version of the film. This did not fit, but after a while I got used of it. I don't know, why the director put them in, but I think to give the film more international flair.

I've rated this film 7 out of 10
