Brandon Lee may have lacked the martial arts grace of his father, but there was no denying his charisma, and this serviceable action thriller offered him the opportunity to make the transition from straight-to-video star to a man with genuine box-office appeal. There's not much subtlety involved in this story about a college student who finds himself on the run from villainous Nick Mancuso, but the production values are a notch above the usual B-movie action adventures, and director Dwight H Little ensures that the constant flow of fights and shoot-outs hides any holes in the story. Lee, whose career was tragically cut short when he was killed while filming The Crow, doesn't take things too seriously and shows that he was cut out to become one of the more interesting action stars.
