This movie was predictably silly. It had Dolph Lundgren as the lead role, for a start. Now, Dolph can carry a lot of things, I'm sure, but a movie ain't one of them. Then there was Geoffrey Lewis and George Segal. Lewis is always comical, no matter what he's in and Segal....well, what can you say about him in this film. I sometimes wonder if George Segal was a prototype for Tim Allen. They act very similarly sometimes.
I was expecting a serious thriller, right up until Segal started to overact (which was early on). The guy was just so hammy that I wondered if there would be a pig wrangler in the end credits. Any seriousness the movie might have had went straight out the window because of him.
And Dolph. As an actor, Dolph is not good. But at least he didn't ham it up like Segal did. And the final punch up between Dolph and Segal is not very believable. Segal is older and woefully out of shape compared to Lundgren. It was just silly.
As mentioned elsewhere, the car chase is nicely done. The stunt drivers must have thought they'd died and gone to heaven getting to drive cars like that around in the desert.
All in all a forgettable movie for a rainy day with nothing else to do.
