Three childhood friends grow up to be renegade cops who just can't work on teams. Of course, that means the police department end up assigning them all to the same team, working deep undercover, no backup to bust a drug ring. Each member of this unlikeable two-man, one-woman team has his (or her) own speciality and each will, of course, come into play as they get themselves into trouble with the drug lords and — when things go wrong — their fellow cops. This suffers from being so insanely complicated that you won't know — or care — what happens by the end.
Slick action movie that follows conventional lines and, despite its future setting, most closely resembles ancient jungle escape stories; all it lacks is Tarzan.
Ray Liotta - has never failed to impress - Liotta outshines the film which at best is a bit like Lord of the flies with adults - Strong supporting cast but the Sci Fi inclusion is unnecessary and for that reason I have rated as 4 stars
good acting throughout the cast, set in a believable place, with a lot of action. Definently worth watching.
