It's a shame they can't do action like this anymore. Sure, its not the most original story, and the actors won't win any Oscars, but it sure is entertaining. The premise is pretty basic: buddy cop movie with a chicago cop and Russian cop (during the cold war era). Arnold is his usual excellent self, and jim belushi is hysterical. The action is top notch, and the story well played (based on a very simple premise). The most important factor: it was really entertaining. There's not a dull moment, and it was enjoyable the whole way through. Overall, I'd say the movie was excellent for action fans, and would highly recommend it.
