I'd rather stay within the 80s in Chucks filmography.

A Chuck Norris work from his prime, which I didn't know yet. The evening seemed to be saved! We're already in the direct-to-video phase of the 90s here and this is one of the increasingly mediocre releases with brother Aaron in the director's chair. Unfortunately, the highlight of the film was our hero's mullet, otherwise it looks like one of the equally low-quality products of the 90s Charles Bronson phase. Just a Cannon assembly line product with a profit maximisation strategy. At times it gets really dull and only distinguishes itself from a bland TV film because of the level of violence. At the end there's another action god production, but all in all it's not enough of anything. Not again, I'd rather stay within the 80s in his filmography.

Not a great action flick, but there is a nice twist...

Chuck's character in this go-round is an undercover cop who was supposed to have been killed by his corrupt ex-partner (Michael Parks).But, his cover (a hitter for the Italian mob in Seattle) is so deep he actively is whacking French-Canadian thugs and a new Iranian threat while trying to put away the people he works for.The twist is that Chuck's near-death experience gives his character an odd perspective on death. He's actually become less serious, more sensitive than his life as a cop. The few funny moments may not make up for it not being a great film but they're there.Example - Chuck arrives in Vancouver to discuss a potential truce. After having his handgun taken from him, Chuck knocks a thug on his ass and the guy is looking down a double-barrel, over-and-under shotgun. Chuck quips, "You missed one."

Undercover Norris Is Better than Most Other Efforts
