Firepower : A Mind Blowing Trio to Hell...

DVD. 92 minuter. 1993.

Nyskick. MED ULTIMATE WARRIOR I ROLLEN SOM "THE SWORDSMAN"!!! I hjärtat av LA finns "Hellzone", ett laglöst himmelrike, där polisen inte har något att säga till om och där kriminalitet är tillåtet. En oas av gambling, prostitution, droger och våld. När en av stans mest ökända gängledare, The Swordsman söker skydd i Hellzone, satsar två ambitiösa poliser, allt och vågar gå in, som inga poliser har vågat tidigare. Inne i Hellzone finns de största fasor, man kan tänka sig... Death Ring, arenan där det utgjutes blod för pengar och för det psykotiska kriminella geniet, Drexel. Ett besök i helvetet, som bryter alla gränser! FILMRECENSION: "So good. This movie is a masterpiece. Truth be told the reason I latched onto it was because Gary Daniels was in it and I've been a rabid fan of his for a while. That coupled with a ravaged near future (borderline post apocalyptic) setting and the ULTIMATE WARRIOR as one of the greatest villains to ever grace an action film, makes this a movie to flock to.

The story has been summed up enough and basically rings true and delivers what it promises. The only problem I had with this movie was that Daniels wasn't' the lead actor and was overshadowed by Chad McQueen. McQueen gives a good performance, but watching Daniels in full on action hard-ass mode is one of the greatest cinematic guilty pleasures of all time ( check out Rage, Cold Harvest and Blood Moon for a sample of awesome Gary).

Regardless of my obviously biased review (I can't help it Daniels is an action Icon for me) this film contains enough standard action film fodder to please pretty much anyone. It has car crashes, laser gun fights, CAGE FIGHTING, future wastelands and pretty much anything else they hoped they could squeeze in there. If you're ever lucky enough to happen upon this do yourself a favor and pick it up, you won't be disappointed. MASTERPIECE."
