Advantages: Smart, I like- Smart ass, I dont
Disadvantages: Arnie doesnt get the real 'action' we all know he wants!

Schwarzenegger is Kaminsky, a lone wolf cop working undercover to find the killer of his retainers young rookie son. Arnie immerses himself in the mafia underworld and becomes Sam Wanamaker's ganglord right hand man. The bassy soundtrack is half of the success of this glorious testosterone fuelled gun-fest. From the way Arnie checks all his weapons (yes he pumps his shotgun and then looks at himself in the mirror) to the way he executes mafioso with ...
...cheek performance from Arnold. Not a bad plot this time but the acting could be better and Schwarzenegger carries the film. You may recognise a couple of the actors (one from Scarface and one from License to Kill) but in all honesty, only true Arnie fans can appreciate this film. Not his best work and cheesey in the extreme. But if you are only going to watch five minutes of this film watch the scene where Arnie cranks up the volume of his car stereo ... Read review

Advantages: Original sequences involving a Horse race.
Disadvantages: Morre is too old to be believable as 007.

...sequence begins with Bond recovering a microchip from the dead body of 003 in Siberia. The chip is the key to the whole plot of the film and from this Bond begins to uncover a web of intrigue and a plan for world domination that has disastrous consequences for the west coast of America. The plot has absolutely nothing to do with the novel at all; in fact the only similarities to the novel are the location of part of the story which begins in France. ... Read review
