Miami HeraldBill Cosford
It is almost a prototypical action picture; there is never a moment when something isn't happening or about to happen, and the fact that most of the action makes no sense doesn't matter much when events move this fast. [27 Sep 1985, p.D7]

Leaden, xenophobic, and utterly stupid, it's far more offensive than Rambo and far less well executed. Read full review
