Summary

Science-fiction thriller starring Danny Glover. In the oppressive heat and smog of 1997 Los Angeles, cop Mike Harrigan struggles to contain the violence between feuding Colombian and Jamaican drug gangs. Along with his colleagues, Harrigan is mystified when gang members are ruthlessly murdered by a seemingly superhuman force. Despite being warned off the case by the FBI, Harrigan begins hunting the creature.

Review

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

John Ferguson

After playing straight man to Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon, Danny Glover seized this opportunity to play a loose cannon, an unorthodox cop who is always turning his nose up at authority. The setting is Los Angeles in 1997, and Glover can't work out who or what is murdering the city's gangsters, or why sinister government official Gary Busey is so interested. However, it's not long before he realises that the culprit is far from human. The action sequences are ably staged by Blown Away director Stephen Hopkins, but it lacks the sweaty, claustrophobic tension of the Arnold Schwarzenegger original.
