Ray Owens is sheriff of the quiet US border town of Sommerton Junction after leaving the LAPD following a bungled operation. Following his escape from the FBI, a notorious drug baron, his gang, and a hostage are heading toward Sommerton Junction where the police are preparing to make a last stand to intercept them before they cross the border. Owens is reluctant to become involved but ultimately joins in with the law enforcement efforts
Parts of this are too uneventful and uninteresting for an action movie of this kind, and the action in the last half of the movie isn't great enough to redeem it. While not expecting much, the character development is poor, Arnie's dialogue at times sounds like it is being channelled by the T-800 and it isn't as comedic as I expected either. I also found parts of the fight scene at the movie's conclusion to be badly directed. Hopefully, Arnie's move back into film gets better from here. An average action movie overall.
