After watching their respective partners die, a New Orleans hitman and a Washington D.C. detective form an alliance in order to bring down their common enemy.
Directed by the veteran Walter Hill, this ersatz buddy film is filled with cheesy stop-motion zooms, rapid-cut fight scenes with insanely loud sound effects for every bone-cracking punch, racially insensitive one-liners, window-dressing female characters and wall-to-wall carnage. It's the kind of brainless action movie Sylvester Stallone would have starred in circa 1985. That it stars a Stallone who's pushing 70 is just weird. - Two our of four stars
