I’m 40 years old and checked it out this morning, the perfect movie for a lazy Sunday morning. I’m not sure why I avoided this one for so long. Right out of the gate, the opening hostage scene at the grocery store pulls you in with its serious 80’s action movie vibes. Whereas a movie like Commando purposely hit you with funny one-liners, Stallone’s sleepwalking expressions through this movie allows his one-liners to come across with a more serious intention. We learn absolutely nothing about Stallone’s character other than the fact that he means business when taking out bad guys. And the main henchman in this flick, I swear was a bad guy in every other 80s and early 90s movie. At times, this movie reminded me of a horror version of Robocop. Looking it up, looks like it came out a year before Robo. There were some serious horror vibes in this movie, especially the hospital chase that reminded me of Halloween 2 with Michael Myers. Cherry on top is when Brigitte Nielsen’s character asks Stallone’s character what he will do next after getting through this ordeal, and he says something like, probably work on another case.
