Critics' reviews

"A topically entertaining variation on the sort of action-adventure nonsense (...) Hill's touch is heavy when he takes himself seriously. However, he has a real gift for instantly disposable fantasy."

Vincent Canby: The New York Times
"Thanks to a fairly good script, this thriller about a Soviet cop sent to Chicago to apprehend a Soviet drug dealer is a respectable enough star vehicle."

Jonathan Rosenbaum: Chicago Reader
"Poorly, or even indifferently, made. It's a joyless exercise"

Hal Hinson: The Washington Post
"As the formula goes this is a superior example. It's an action picture with a sense of humor and slyly comic performances (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"

Roger Ebert: rogerebert.com
"Hill has gotten Schwarzenegger to give one of the best performances of his career, and Belushi too is thoroughly convincing as an action hero (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"

TV Guide
"If you still pine for the 80s where East vs West dominated action films, then this is an essential part of your education"

Almar Haflidason: BBC
