This slighter higher than average entry into the seemingly unending oeuvre of action flicks of Chuck Norris sees our man this time as a detective in the Chicago police out to get some drug dealers. When a war between two crime families breaks out on his turf, in the middle of a carefully planned bust no less, it is up to Sgt Cusack, a man so honest and decent it makes your teeth hurt, to sort it all out. Not helped by the code of silence surrounding the families, or the fact that he has transgressed the police's own code of silence leaving his fellow cops reluctant to come to his aid, he sets about cleaning up the streets of Chicago his way. His way is entertaining and shows off more martial arts skill than you would expect from the average windy city flatfoot.
Things crack along at a brisk pace, and all the usual clichés are duly ticked off one by one. Norris doesn't really bother trying to act, maintaining a stoical stony demeanour through most of the film, and only coming to life in the frequent action scenes. The fights are big and impressive, especially one in a pool hall where Norris is significantly outnumbered. The odd one liner breaks the ice a little. Denis Farina provides solid support as a sidekick, and Henry Silva is a suitably daft villain (`I have you at my mercy, so I am going to let you go and get tooled up ready for the big showdown rather than just blow you away here and now' style of villainy) and there is a solid cast of thugs and heavies for Norris to work his way through.
As I said, an above average entry into the genre, with lots going on and little extraneous material. 4 stars.

This is when Chuck Norris was at his best. Norris plays a police sergeant leading a raid on a drug den, who arrives a step behind another gang which gets away with all the dope and money, leaving a bloody mess behind. This sets off a gang war between forces led by properly menacing Henry Silva on one side and less prominent Mike Genovese on the other. Great fight scenes, very gritty and violent. Nothing intellectual about it although nothing is in a Chuck Norris movie. They don't make movies like this anymore. If you are after action than this is your movie. Great music score and directed by Andrew Davis.

With his usual grit and courage Chuck Norris does beat the bad guys in the end but not without a few problems on the way !
Never a dull moment I commend this excellent film to anyone who enjoys adventures and heroes ! Incidentally Chuck was beaten once in 'Game of Death' by another hero Bruce Lee but that's another story !
