( there might be a little tiny spoiler here ) plot arnold schwarzenegger play a disgraced cop who find a chance for redemption by take on an assignment to infiltrate a chicago mob . he find himself in danger of get in over his head with this role playing and especially after get involve with a woman . critique not long after i pop this one in and i could see why raw deal be one of the star least regard film . it almost completely devoid of the wit and energy that we have come to expect of his best work . although there a fair amount of action and none if it be really exciting or memorable and certainly not on par with anything in the terminator film ( or even eraser and for that matter ) . in fact and it often seem more like something from the cannon film stable than a vehicle for one of the world top superstar . the script be muddle and unfocused and with a subplot about the hero alcoholic wife be introduce and drop abruptly . irvin direction be flat and unenergetic and and even arnold can not enliven the dreary proceeding ( though he try ) . reportedly and he only accept the role to fulfill a contractual obligation and which certainly explain his lack of care in choose this particular project . in the end and it safe to say that this be one film that would have be out of print for age if not for the his presence . unless you feel you have to watch everything he do and just skip this dud and rent predator or terminator 2. rating represent ( half ) out of fourreleased by de laurentiis entertainment .
