“One's a warrior. One's a wise guy. They're two L.A. cops going after a gang of drug lords. Feet first.”

Dolph Lundgren and Brandon Lee police Los Angeles with spectacularly unsubtle force. The fights move fast and the buddy chemistry works, but the dialogue occasionally sounds as though the entire precinct lost a bet with the screenwriter.
