Norris at his fighting best!
8 July 2000 | by Arthur-23 – See all my reviews

This is probably Chuck Norris' best film. Action, pacing, suspense, and sound track, were all there! The notorious Professor Tanaka was among the best villains to appear in any Chuck Norris film to date. Truly menacing! Well made, great escapist entertainment. Worth viewing if you're in the mood for a fast-paced film with more emphasis on action than plot. If you're not looking for deep subtext, this film delivers!
