My quick rating - 6,1/10. This fight for no-reason government conspiracy action flick still holds up quite well. If you are familiar with Steven Seagal's work, this is one of his best. He plays Nico Toscani, an Italian immigrant, American patriot, ex-CIA agent, aikido specialist, and unorthodox Chicago policeman. He is as committed to his job as he is to his personalized brand of justice—expert and thorough bone-crushing. Pam Grier plays his partner as they bust a typical drug deal that turns out to be a far deeper conspiracy causing them to have no one to trust. The hand-to-hand fight scenes were well done and for his first time film, Seagal established himself as a box office action star almost immediately. Seems sort of timely right now with some high ranking official believing they are "immune" to the law.
