A professional mercenary takes on a criminal gang to save
his rock star ex-girlfriend.
A comic-book style action movie with a unique sense of
filmmaking style which wasn't quite appreciated at its time of release and possibly could have done better had it been made a decade later.
Decent soundtrack, but a rather average
film.
5/10
