Trivia

One of the main movie posters for the film was designed very much in the style of the James Bond film posters of the day. Two characters were wearing tuxedos, and there was a montage of action scenes, including an image of a casino, with a yacht, a helicopter, guns, girls, and exotic locations. See more »

Alternate Versions

The film was originally released theatrically in the UK with an uncut 'AA' (15) certificate and later reissued as an 'A' (PG) with cuts to some of the bloodier shootings, shots of men on fire, a wire strangling and a brief shot of a topless woman. The 1986 video was upgraded to a 15 certificate and restored the later cinema edits though 15 secs were cut from a cockfighting scene. See more »

Forgettable, muddled thriller.
9 December 2000 | by gridoon – See all my reviews

Forgettable time-waster, without purpose or meaning. It proves that even a few wild car chases and large-scale explosions can't sustain a desperately uninteresting and uninvolving story. The large cast is largely underused. (*1/2)
