Redundant and unnecessary.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

A shadowy organisation does shadowy things like local politics and street vigilantism headed by Dr. Rachel Larkin who wants to take over the city by fair means and foul. Our hero, a disgraced city cop, infiltrates the organisation to learn the truth and bring down the organisation. It sounds good but it is only adequate. There is lots of fighting but apart from a great sequence in a garage the rest of the combat is routine.Jeff Wincott as the hero is not much of an actor but he does have fine muscles. Brigitte Nielsen as the villainous Dr Larkin is hilarious, but not in a good way. It does have Matthias Hues though as Titus Larkin who is always a welcome sight with his huge charismatic presence and Karen Shepherd, who is not in it enough unfortunately, doing some great moves when allowed to. The final match up between Wincott and Hues is OK, but a Hues vs Shepherd bout would have been awesome! Flint Lock also acts in the film, which I only mention because it's such a cool name.

I could not take my eyes off this movie when it showed up on cable. The dialogue and costumes are of a quality most readily associated with soft-core porn. In this case the expedient plot serves as a vehicle not for sex but for serial thrashings with nunchuks. (Perhaps for sex as well, but not on Indian TV, anyway.)Not being a fan of the genre I couldn't place Jeff Wincott, and had no leads to search from. Only once Brigitte Nielsen traded in her futuristic-nurse coif (so mayoral!) for the high-top fade we remember from Beverly Hills Cop II did I make the positive ID on her.This movie will no doubt entertain any admirer of early 90's couture or nod-and-wink schlock à la Paul Verhoeven. Can we add a genre tag for "so-bad-it's-good"?

This movie (with the alternate title "Martial Law 3" for some reason) introduced me to Jeff Wincott for the first time. And it was a great introduction. Although I had never heard of him before, he seemed to be an excellent fighter. The action scenes in this movie are GREAT! There are lots of them too, by the way. The recruit fight at the Peacekeepers HQ is especially good. There's just something about one single guy beating the crap out of a bunch of people that's really fun. And for the rest of the cast: Brigitte Nielsen was a good choice for the villain. Roles like this fits her (but others don't). Matthias Hues also did a good job, as always. He's a great fighter and macho-like character, and was a good rival for Wincott in this movie.

This movie starts out rather badly. The fights are slow and not very exciting. The other fights in the movie are a lot better though. Especially the one in the garage and the "test" to get into the peacekeepers. Jeff Wincott makes a decent hero. The female villain is rather bland though. She doesn't really do anything extremely evil. Martial arts fans will want to check this one out. Don't be fooled by the bad start, it gets a lot better.
