Trivia:
When Kruger comes to Lee's house, he has "LETS PARTY" [sic] printed on the back of his jacket. This is a reference to Commando (1985) in which Arnold Schwarzenegger says that line to Vernon Wells. moreGoofs:

Before T3 was released, this was the last good Ahnuld movie. Although not one of his very best, this remains an enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours. He plays John Kruger, who works in the Witness Protection Program, erasing the identities of the vulnerable to secure their future. His latest assignment is to protect Vanessa Williams, who has information on some heavy duty weapons. Although logic is not one of the film's strong points, I really don't mind. Since this is a Schwarzenegger vehicle, I expect certain things, i.e. high body count, great one liners, and some dark humor. Thankfully, those elements are evident. James Caan does a respectable job and Robert Pastorelli adds some comic relief.
Rating: *** (out of ****)
