Le policier New Yorkais Deke DaSilva n'est pas satisfait de la proposition de ses supérieurs qui désirent le muter dans une section anti-terrorist car il aime son travail. On réserve le même sort à son collègue de travail et ils seront rapidement obligés de livrer bataille. (texte officiel du distributeur)

Sly in the last "pre-Rambo" movie, where he doesn't mow down enemies by the dozens, but instead tries to save people in need. It’s nothing but a B-movie that is not interesting in any way, and it gives me the feeling that Sly was going downhill at the time, having squandered his star potential in five years. Fortunately for him, and us, Rambo came the following year and returned him to the limelight.

An action spectacle to my liking. It’s not overly complicated, one remembers Serpico or The French Connection, and it’s not hard to guess how it will turn out... Bu does that matter? Nope. It is true that the best passage (the meeting with Wulfgar and the rather long chase through the city, underground and subway), which was supposedly directed by Stallone himself, isn’t surpassed later on in the film, but the cable car is also good... and the ending! Apart from the likable Stallone and the unflappable Hauer, I was very pleased with the British tough-as-nails Nigel Davenport.
