In Chicago, honor-driven Sgt. Eddie Cusack (Chuck Norris) and his team stake out a drug exchange involving notorious drug czar Luis Comacho (Henry Silva). Cusack is caught off guard, however, when rival Mafia kingpin Tony Luna (Mike Genovese) and his disguised crew show up, unleash a torrent of gunfire on Comacho's crew and make off with both cash and cocaine. Now Cusack must fight both gangs -- and corruption in his own department -- in order to stop the drug war.

3/4

As an actor, Chuck Norris might possess all the dramatic range of a bowling ball, but he's been suitably stoic on many occasions, and his role here proves to be a particularly snug fit.

3/5

‘the late Chuck Norris broke out to mainstream audiences with this tough, cop-corruption thriller…a good copoganda movie that sets a maverick amongst lawless lawmakers…’

The best thrilling movie ever made!

Fun action film. Really representative of the 80s, with the style, the robot and the simple blow em all away attitude. Norris is fun in it, and the premise is good.
