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.

You've got to laugh haven't you just look at those shades - beware all villains he's the cure - LOL - he looks really hard especially chewing matches
