Released in 1981 and running 99 minutes this might be the best Sylvester Stallone not named Rocky or Rambo.It seems to draw on what was know about the famous terrorist "Carlos"and concoct a story involving NYC and a street cop to catch or kill him in the fictional thriller.Rutger Hauer is excellent as Wulfgar ,the Carlos type as Stallone and Billy Dee Williams are as the NYC cops after him.Add Persis Khambatta as Shakka Holland,Wulfgar's associate and a few well known supporting actors with NYC flavor and you have a fairly suspenseful thriller with NYC themes.I enjoyed it and my only issues were that as much as I enjoyed it,I never once believed it as the terrorist we know today are not like Wulfgar or even Carlos was as religion is far more relevant in their doctrines.Thats why I took 1 and 1/2 stars off.Still worth a few views.Trailer URL follows the pix and a IMDB summary below.
Conservative street cop DaSilva reluctantly agrees to terminate an international terrorist who has demanded media attention. But DaSilva's "at-home" tactics are very much put to the challenge.
