Customer Reviews

James and Arnold, a daring duo.

A fun shoot-em-up with lots of good chase scenes and a few good plot twists. One of the things that makes the movie is Arnold going around straight-faced and like the Terminator without the metal endoskeleton. The thoroughly rotten bad guy and drug dealer Viktor Rostavile ‘Rosta’ (Ed O’Toss) flees the USSR after encountering Capt. Ivan Danko ‘USSR State Police.’ We find that he has big plans in Chicago, where he plans to make a deal with Abdul Elijah, an incarcerated Revolutionary political leader (Brent Jennings). Abdul has an agenda of his own. Everyone’s plans must be adjusted as Danko turns up in Chicago and teams up with Det. Sgt. Art Ridzik ‘Chicago Police Dept.’ (James Belushi) to track down and retrieve Rosta. In the process of tracking, we meet all kinds of dangerous criminals and beautiful women. Or are those beautiful criminals and dangerous women? Ridzik almost gets killed because of his instant affinity with a blond wayward nurse; he is in for a surprise. We also have the obligatory vehicle chase scene with a different twist. Aside from the main players, there are quite a few recognizable character actors who add significantly to the movie.
