Filmed on location in Chicago/Calumet Harbor, in 1985, it took an extra-long time for this to become available on DVD. This is Chuck Norris's BEST film effort of the 80's, partly because the kick-boxing is less contrived and partly because he's a totally believable honest Chicago cop(yes, there's lots of 'em). The supporting cast includes other Chicago-crime-drama actors, both before and after this effort, and the scenes on "the El" clinch the realism, and yes, that includes the dive into the Chicago river! Music/soundtrack is outstanding, and the night shots downtown are rivalled only by "the Fugitive" years later. The mechanical crime-fighting assistant Norris uses as a diversion is well-done and more plausible than Robo-cop ripoffs. And Henry Silva is, well, Henry Silva. One flaw is that the DVD cover features a Hollywood(Capitol Tower) backdrop--no such problems with the movie itself !Read full review

I like to see him in charge. He messes up here. Still a good film.

One of the Best of the Norris films. Chuck is in high kicking form. Action galore, and a twisted plot makes it one of the top five of my list of martial arts films. But, who could ever compete with the infamous Lee.
