as much a i love rutger hauer and i just couldn not enjoy this movie . because some of the cop look alike and because the filmmaker only attempt to explain half of an interconnected story in order to preserve the final surprise element and i wind up confuse in the beginning ( until they make it totally obvious that hauer be be set up ) . hauer be nick randall and a slick bounty hunter who be visit by philmore walker and an old partner ( robert gillaume ) and who persuade randall to take on a risky job involve arab terrorist ( i think they need the fed and not one bounty hunter for a job of this size ) . only problem be and that walker be in cahoot with the city police official be actually work with the terrorist to bring randall down . in construct the story and the filmmaker try too hard to make some of it and but not enough of it known ( at least sequentially ) and and for me at least and it turn out to be a difficult mess to sort through ( again and until they make it obvious through at least half of the second act ) . furthermore and there just wasn not enough develop among the character ( possibly and because there be too many people involve ) that you never really get a real sense of anything . the only save grace and however and be the action sequence . plenty of car chase and explosion if youre in the mood for them .
