An above-average Chuck Norris vehicle perhaps because it was directed by Andrew Davis who also made "The Fugitive". The plot, involving drug wars and corrupt cops, is nothing you haven't seen a hundred times before and Davis gives it a lot of zap and there are several first-rate set pieces as well as an excellent use of Chicago locations. Norris is as stiff and wooden as ever but it's always nice to see Henry Silva as a suave villain even if he's underused. In fact, this is a movie that does exactly what it says on the tin. Perfect Saturday night popcorn fare.
