Review:

The Governator at his best. This is one of those movies that's best if you don't think too much. It's a mindless action movie, that doesn't take itself too seriously. Schwarzenegger is doing what he does best in movies, shooting people, blowing things up, and being bulletproof. Being an '80's action movie it has it's flaws, errors, and gaping plot holes. If you can either look past the flaws, or ignore them, this is one of Schwarzenegger's best action movies, and one of the best action movies of the '80's. Just sit down, open a cold bear, and turn your brain off for 90 minutes and enjoy the movie.

My Rating:
8/10
