Not bad Ruggero Deodato low-rent action flick
7 June 1999 | by (Los Angeles, CA) – See all my reviews

Miles O'Keeffe wears cowboy boots and a trench coat and rides around in the desert beating up arabs. He also has a crossbow with exploding arrows. Lots of action scenes, explosions, and fighting sold me on this one. I liked it. I assure you nobody else will though. You have to be a fan of cheesy Italian action movies already, develop a taste for em. For us who actually know who he is, we see John Steiner in one of his most dazzlingly silly performances yet! Worth watching just for Steiner. Why doesn't this guy act any more?
