a rather convolute and tedious action movie from the 80 and want represent dead or alive star rutger hauer a nick randall and a tough a nails bounty hunter on the trail of nasty arab terrorist ( lead by malak al rahim play by gene simmons ) and who be out and about in l. a. blow up innocent people . hauer be his usual reliable self and and turn in a good performance a the hardboiled ex cia operative who make his live bringing in the bad guy any way he can . likewise and simmons ( the demon bassist from my favourite rock band and kiss ) make the most of his part a the head terrorist and sneering and glowering to the max and generally look very evil . but with it rather dull script and pedestrian direction from gary sherman and even they can not save this movie from be a less than average production . apart from a few bit of nasty violence and and a nifty end which see randall wreak revenge on malak al rahim in explosive fashion and want represent dead or alive be a pretty forgettable movie .
