Hondo Harrelson recruits Jim Street to join an elite unit of the Los Angeles Police Department. Together they seek out more members, including tough Deke Kay and single mom Chris Sanchez. The team's first big assignment is to escort crime boss Alex Montel to prison. It seems routine, but when Montel offers a huge reward to anyone who can break him free, criminals of various stripes step up for the prize.

Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The director, a TV guy named Clark Johnson, doesn't shoot action very well, which is sort of a handicap.

rotten:
A rigmarole of stranded cliches and thrill-free action-movie legerdemain.

There is something sneakily gratifying about all this.

rotten:
he high definition SWAT training footage resembles a US Army recruitment ad, appropriate since TV journeyman Johnson imagines downtown LA as an unpatrolled Baghdad, swarming with guntotin' mercenaries pursuing their share of the bounty.

fresh:
As summer shoot-'em-ups go, this is pretty well executed, with plenty of macho posing and gunfire.
