    “Crime is the disease and I'm the cure,” claims cop Sylvester Stallone in a practically plotless mêlée of shooting and stabbing. The film tries to be Stallone's Dirty Harry (that film's Andrew Robinson and Reni Santoni have thankless supporting roles here), so it's unfortunate his idea of characterisation is mirror shades and a penchant for chewing matches. Although the relentless sequences of murder and mayhem are competently filmed by Rambo: First Blood Part II director George Pan Cosmatos (including a not-bad car chase), the film's unusually slender running time suggests any moments of tranquillity in the script must have been discarded somewhere along the way.

    Tatum scalded on film set

    • 28 Oct 2009

    Channing Tatum was left in agony while filming new movie The Eagle Of The Ninth when he suffered a serious scalding on-set. The G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra star was struggling with the cold temperatures while shooting scenes in the Scottish Highlands, so he devised a bizarre way to keep warm. Tatum wore a wetsuit underneath his costume and asked aides to pour hot water into it to warm himself up.
