Brooklyn cop Gino Felino is about to go outside and play catch with his son Tony when he receives a phone call alerting him that his best friend Bobby Lupo has been shot dead in broad daylight on 18th Avenue in front of his wife Laurie Lupo and his two kids by drug kingpin Richie Madano, who has been Gino and Bobby's enemy since childhood. As Gino is hunting Madano down, Gino discovers the motive behind Bobby's murder. This is when Gino's hunt for Madano leads to the showdown of a lifetime. (official distributor synopsis)

The harshest, most brutal, darkest, and narratively strongest Steven Seagal film. John Flynn creates an excellent atmosphere of gritty New York in the early nineties. Seagal is in his usual form as well, handing out kicks wherever he looks, and William Forsythe is a demonic villain. The action scenes are naturally precise, and apart from one or two clumsy cuts, the viewer will certainly be satisfied. A typical example of an action film from the late eighties and early nineties. Unfortunately, times are changing, and many people no longer appreciate this style. Nevertheless, this “shortcoming” does not diminish its quality in the slightest.
