![]() The real fun is watching Randall evading Lipton's men on the street while also successfully uncovering Malak's operation through the various underlings who work for him. There's always a tug-of-war between Walker and Lipton, over the treatment of Randall. Jerry Hardin has the stereotypical role of incompetent CIA leader, Lipton, needing the help of others to catch the bad guys.how he uses Randall as bait in an attempt to get to Malak bares extra emphasis on the joy of seeing him fail at his job. William Russ, in a thankless role, ably portrays Randall's best friend Sergeant Danny Quintz.his tragic fate, in an effort to help out his pal, certainly amps the frequency, adding extra motivation for Randall to take out the Arab scumbags. Robert Guillaume is a CIA officer, Walker, who lures Randall into taking the job of nabbing Malak, helping him along the way with certain information to assist in the search. ![]() Simmons, while limited to a small number of scene, is quite effective as a cold-blooded Islamic extremist who bombs a theater full of innocent people(.leaving behind his hand print on the window of a phone booth, teasing the authorities)just to make a point.a chilling moment shows Malak greeting a little girl who was walking into the theater with her parents. ![]() The real fun for me, being a Rutger Hauer fan, is seeing the man do his thing.he's perfect for a role such as this, a specialist at hunting down and securing the dregs and lowlifes of society, dangerous criminals the police have a hard time capturing, often earning a wealthy pay day in the process. The premise is pretty much a by-the-numbers actioner, a skilled hunter after a dangerous terrorist and his dedicated followers while the CIA often look foolish in their attempts to capture their quarry themselves. When Malak kills Randall's girlfriend and cop buddy(.a boat bombing intended for him), it gets personal. Rutger Hauer stars as Nick Randall, a bounty hunter, ex-CIA, called into a case to capture(.dead, preferably alive)a wanted terrorist, Malak Al Rahim(.played by Gene Simmons, an undeniably good heavy)whose Arab organization is bombing selected locations across Los Angeles.
