I was reminded of this movie when I saw a recent Geena Davis interview, where she lamented the lack of any substantially "juicy" role offers once she turned 40. That is Hollywood's, and our loss, as this Renny Harlin actioner proves she had the chops to pull off a female super agent role long before ScarJo, JLaw, the myriad of other cookie cutter femme fatales gracing the big screen today. Just to prove he point, Samuel L. Jackson went on to bigger and better things, even without his hair, including an anchor role in the MCU, while females of that era (other than Sigorney Weaver) pretty much have had to "settle" for whatever matronly roles they can get. Sad, because this could be a really interesting follow up story, or, perhaps some enterprising writer could come up with a female driven version of "The Expendables".

Yes, it is 80's over the top cheesy, but, in the all the best ways, with Renny Harlin burning and blowing stuff up REAL good (including a few people), and making sure each kill is set up with the prerequisite quip and or catch phrase. Also includes a plethora of other character actors you've seen in many different action films, as well as the (gasp) happy ending we really could use these days. a fun popcorn movie worth the watch.
