Disappointing Golan-Globus effort where Bronson plays a secret service agent protecting the high maintenance new first lady. More Nancy Reagan jokes would have been welcomed here.

Eerily similar plot to 1977 Bronson/Ireland entry "Love And Bullets" with Bronson forced to protect Ireland, who he dislikes, from a hit. No one will ever accuse the Golan-Globus production team of originality.
Woah! In my DVD-cover, there's Charles Bronson with a bazooka... what more could you possibly want?!? The answer is: a lot.

The plot is just stupid, acting is from ass (according to the title... twice), music is terrible (real 80's), dialogue awkward and even the action scenes are lousy and idiotic (water-jets, motorbikes, bazookas etc.)... oh my.
Even though late mr. Bronson is one of my all time favourite stone faces, I found this film to be a waste of time. Too bad.

One star for the dirtbike, and one star for the completely skin-eatingly insane sequence involving "Indian Joe" and his hatred of foreigners.
About as '80s fantastical as you can get with action films, beyond Chuck Norris or Clint Eastwood.
Bronson is a badass with a heart for the ladies, and moral to boot.

Bronson is a badass with a heart for the ladies, and moral to boot.
Big explosions, bad stunt men-to-actor ratio, it's like the A-Team on a big screen without the obvious.
A fun movie to watch that is over before it begins. Ah the '80s, how I love thee.
5 stars due to the dirtbike scene with a stuntman that is about 40 years younger than Bronson. Should've been rated R & should've had Stomper from Death Wish II in it.
CHARLES BRONSON, hell yeah! Ei kuitenkaan ihan sitä Charlie-boyn terävintä kärkeä; hyvää Golan/Globus-peruskauraa kuitenkin.
