This was an okay movie by Chuck Norris, probably the last sort of good film I saw him in. Like most Norris movies it has a certain appeal mainly thanks to Norris himself, but it also has flaws that prevent this film from being anything special. Add to that an annoying plot point involving a kid and you just have to take a point or two more points off a film that if it had worked on some story elements could have been one of Chuck's best films instead once again another middle of the road film. In it Chuck is not a hit-man, but rather a cop who is undercover working with the mob hoping to find who is behind a crime in his past. There are some good action scenes in this one and I love the gun Chuck Norris uses as it is a nifty double barrel shotgun with the barrels being one on top of the other rather than the typical side by side. Do not ask me why I love the double barreled shotgun that is sawed off. I like the one in the "Mad Max" series though that is the more typical one. This film though is a nice watch, just nothing to take seriously. It needs a bit of work on the story and they need to lose the kid and the stupid scene at the aquarium. Overall, I thought it was okay though.
