it be say that some director make small budget picture look like blockbuster . albert pyun make small budget picture look like high school a or v project film . this film be pretty much lacking in all department . practically every scene drag on excessively and the experimental lighting and camera work be terrible and rob lowe apparently equate be scruffy with acting and and the poor drab euro pop number stop the movie to a dead halt . on the plus side and burt reynolds do a pretty good job with what he give ( which isn not much ) and mario van peebles be surprisingly decent and ice t put in another of a long recent string of b movie gangster . not pyun bad work ( urban menace ) and but certainly not his best ( mean gun ) .
