This is a chop-their-limbs-off action film but, to its credit, it’s one that tries hard, and often successfully, to keep a sense of humour running through its mayhem.
Rutger Hauer is the blind Vietnam vet with quite impossible prowess with a sword, (kept within his cane). Is handed an equally impossible assignment in escorting a nine-year-old boy to his father. The boy’s also wanted by Nevada gangsters who have just killed his mother and need the boy to force his chemist father (Terrance O’Quinn) into the drugs business.
Director (Phillip Nooyce) keeps the action packed journey as lively as you could wish and sword firmly in cheek. Two of the villains are called Lyle and Tector (after the brothers in the Wild Bunch) and the gangsters’ secret weapon at the end turns out to be master screen swordsman Sho Kosugi.
An action packed movie from beginning to end that will have you swinging your fists as well as laughing your head off. Great entertainment!
