“If you love high octane B-Movies, then this oneu0026#39;s for you. Itu0026#39;s a relentlessly paced onslaught of huge explosions and action that never letu0026#39;s up. Itu0026#39;s also highly absurd and totally ridiculous, which is what makes it so great! You really have to suspend all disbelief and just check your brain at the door because common sense was not a factor when writing the scrip. Itu0026#39;s dumb, but also so much fun. It wears itu0026#39;s early 90u0026#39;s vibe on itu0026#39;s sleeve (mullets!), and easily one of the most enjoyable Die Hard knockoffu0026#39;s out there, not to mention on a visual level, it looks fantastic. Yeah it may be unintentionally hilarious because of how absurd it is, or how totally ridiculous scenariou0026#39;s are what drive the film forward, but again, it rules because stuff getu0026#39;s blown up on a minute to minute basis and itu0026#39;s kind of hilarious, awesome, and ridiculous all at the same time. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI had to give credit to Ken Wahl on the lead performance as a quarterback football player. To me, whenever I see this movie, it kind of asks me this question… u0026quot;How can one man go through an entire night of running from the bad guys that are robbing the city of Beverly Hills as if this is some kind of real life-or-death football game all of a sudden?u0026quot; Well, I donu0026#39;t have the answer to that one just yet.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOverall rating: 6 out of 10.”
