Summary

Action thriller starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and James Belushi. When Moscow policeman Captain Ivan Danko is sent to the US to track down a Russian drug dealer, he is partnered with Art Ridzik, a brash Chicago detective whose style of policing proves to be in total contrast to that of the militaristic Danko.

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

John Ferguson

This routine fish-out-of-water thriller from director Walter Hill offered Arnold Schwarzenegger one of his more interesting action roles before he became a superstar. Playing a stony, monosyllabic Soviet cop poses no real acting problems for the big man, and in James Belushi he has an agreeably foul-mouthed foil, as the pair team up to hunt for an escaped Russian drug dealer. Hill stages a series of entertainingly violent and increasingly silly set pieces, and there's an eclectic support cast that includes Peter Boyle, Gina Gershon and Laurence Fishburne, when he was still calling himself Larry.
