The film plays like a pastiche of Arnie's earlier hits, including COMMANDO,
PREDATOR, TOTAL RECALL and several others. Unfortunately, it does not
measure up to any of those efforts. The plot is hackneyed, the direction
listless, and Arnie is too old and bloated to be running around the jungles
of Colombia and the streets of Los Angeles. He also seems impervious to
harm, which is not acceptable in a modern action film. He falls not once
but twice from great heights and has the bejeesus kicked out of him several
times, and yet he never shows so much as a scratch. The film comes to life
briefly in a close-quarters prison brawl and during the climax in the
basement of an office building, but it is nowhere near enough. DIrector
Andrew Davis is not James Cameron, unfortunately. Which reminds me, it's
hard to believe this is the same sleek action hero who appeared in TRUE LIES
and ERASER. But those films were made in the early 90s, and Arnie ain't
getting any younger. He needs to do more KINDERGARTEN COP-type films and get
out of the action racket. He definitely needs to stop making tripe like this
(not to mention END OF DAYS and THE 6TH DAY or whatever that clone disaster
was called).
