Watched this film at the cinema, and thought it wasone of his best. Unfortunately, the dvd/vhs release had some unnecessary cuts made to the film, which ruined it for me.

Rated - 3 starsDont rub it out, rent it.

A customer from Essex, England , 24/07/2005

An average action flick with some good special effects. A good no brainer. Worth renting if you are a big Arnie fan.
