REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Fri., Nov. 19, 1993
This 1986 Hong Kong action film from the international king of the shoot-'em-up is just now making it to American shores, presumably on the coattails of Woo's U.S. breakthrough with Hard Target. The story involves a DEA agent hooking up with a retired soldier to dethrone a drug lord.
