Some similarities with Terminator, still kind of a fun if not also messy sci-fi actioner, with Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgin going head-to-head. Oh, and forgot how much of a crush I had on Ally Walker back then. Anyway, not bad but certainly a movie that feels like it was from the 90s. **3.25/5**

A lot more like Rambo than it ought to be
On rewatching this movie, it struck me how much it reminds me of Rambo: First Blood. It's all about how PTSD can mess up your life. The movie itself is, of course, a quintessential 90s action piece. It is furiously fast paced with cheesy dialogue and goofy narrative and plot. The casting is solid and the direction is exactly what it needs to be to make it an action classic.
