Reviews:

Malta is the real star of this feature
Granted, this is not a great movie by any measure. Its plot, acting and direction are enjoyable but not really memorable.

And I’m no expert in martial arts movies, so I can’t review Sho Kosugi and Jean-Claude Van Damme fighting performances in this flick.

But I nevertheless find it to be an entertaining and refreshing movie because:

a) It is slow-paced compared to movies churned out by Hollywood nowadays. I can’t stand shaky cam photography nor “frantic” editing. I find 1980s pop-corn flicks quite relaxing.

b) It is full of nice sights of Malta, a location you very rarely see in motion pictures. Its fortifications, distinctive architecture, sunny beaches, beautiful landscapes… It’s quite refreshing to enjoy the beauties of an oft-overlooked location in movie-making. Malta is the real star of this picture.

c) Doran Clark. She’s a beautiful woman and quite convincing as the CIA agent “babysitting” the two kids. Why we haven’t seen her in more movies is beyond me.

All in all, this flick is a guilty pleasure, but for good reasons.

Bond-type boredom with the added curio of a Van Damme villain
A pretty much average thriller, like a lot of the supposed exciting rubbish which was churned out in the ’80s. This one has some nice foreign locations to look at, but the muddled plot is both boring and headache inducing, involving a James Bond-like agent who must retrieve some technical stuff from the bottom of the sea. To make things interesting, there are some chase sequences and of course the expected martial arts action, but unfortunately both turn out to be disappointing.

Basically, this is because they offer up little in the way of excitement, because they’re totally generic and therefore useless. The only exception is a cool rooftop chase but that’s the highlight of the film. The fight scenes, when they occur, are too brief and too tame, I mean we know Kosugi is tough and can easily wipe out the bad guys, so there’s no suspense and not enough action. The only fight scenes worth waiting for are the Van Damme/Kosugi fights, where the martial arts aces do their bits, and there are three of these to enjoy, with the second being the best (the first is too brief, and the third is too dimly lit).

The acting is typically bland for a film like this, just guys with stony faces barking out orders. There is the obligatory love interest but even the little kids are clichéd. Kosugi is okay as the hero of the piece, but he’s never as engaging as he was elsewhere. People complain about Seagal and Van Damme having no charisma, but this guy makes them look like Clark Gable in comparison. Van Damme is pretty good in a rare bad-guy role, although he is no actor he definitely shows his mettle in the fight sequences, doing the splits and high kicking endlessly. It’s cool to watch. As it stands it’s an average thriller with a budget not high enough to do it any justice. Barely passable.
