A good movie with a great performance by Nancy Allen.
15 November 2005 | by See all my reviews

I have to say that although this film isn't quite good, casting Nancy Allen, was a brilliant idea. She did as much as she could with a poor direction. In this occasion Nancy plays a mother who has to rescue her daughter, and she does another heroine character very well. I think her best heroine character is Anne Lewis in RoboCop movies, but this one is great too!! In the other hand, this movie has action, adventures, a bit of music, as I said before an excellent performance by Nancy. and I have to mention that two great actors as Martin Landau and Gina work in this film too!! So definitive I recommend it to you, it's suitable to watch with friends, and I give it a 10/10.
