Storyline

When reporter Steve Roberts acts on a call from his good friend, Dr. Charlie Venco, urging him to leave Seattle and report on a hot scientific story in Bulgaria, he ends up in a world of disappearance, death and deception. It begins with Dr. Venco's suspicious death and funeral where he meets Alexa Campos, a beautiful associate of the doctor's. A romantic liaison between Alexa and Steve is thwarted by local thugs and military police who are all after the meddlesome Roberts. Roberts discovers what he should not - that the supposed blood research is in fact the development of a 100% addictive drug "Blue Mist" - and that Charlie was in on the whole deal with the Russian Mob. Roberts and Alexa must find a way out: their only hope being some pretty quick thinking and the best martial arts to ever hit Bulgaria.

disappointment.

Gary Daniels latest that i have seen is very disappointing, despite being a b-movie star his films do look quite expensive for b-movies with plenty of explosions and destruction but this film looked painfully cheap, and with a totally un-interesting story line this is very boring. Despite being the worst Daniels flick i have seen i must say that his performance was the best i have seen from him, while still not at a high standard he delivered his lines convincingly and his character was far more emotive than his others. City of Fear has some good fights indisperesd with cheap looking gun play with no gun blasts, riccochests and very few body impacts, and the machine guns on one bit sounded like someone stepping on bubble rap. 3/10
