You will hardly recognize Sylvester Stallone (sporting a full-grown beard) in this top-notch action thriller. Stallone is Deke DaSilva, a NYC cop who is part of an anti-terrorist unit. His adversary is the European (his exact nationality remains unclear) terrorist Wulfgar, played by Rutger Hauer. This film boasts several impressive suspenseful scenes that will have you on the edge of your seat. My favourite scene is the one where DaSilva and his partner spot Wulfgar in a crowded night club. The atmosphere is so tense also because of the great score by Keith Emerson. I have always loved this film and it is one of my favourite Stallone films.
The soundtrack is also a classic in my book. I bought the LP in 1988 but have been on the look-out for the CD version ever since. Definitely worth checking out should you get your hands on it somewhere!
And a final comment: Rutger Hauer is Dutch, and not German as a fellow reviewer mentioned below!
