This flick was interesting to me as I'm studying Polish, and it's rather humorous to watch a generic straight-to-vid actioner unspool in Warsaw, although it's never convincing when hundreds of Poles take it upon themselves to spray machine gun fire at Griffith, or when a whole meat -packing plant decides to show their karate moves, Polish style. Hauer is good as always, and the unique scenario makes it relatively watchable, but there's nothing plotwise you haven't seen a thousand times before.
