400 million dollars are hidden in a boat in some harbor in South America, hidden by Dani Servigo's brother. When his brother gets killed, Dani is a wanted man - by undercover DEA agent Cole Parker and also by Armor O'Malley, who is working for drug boss Loomis. Together, Servigo and Parker search for the boat. This film is certainly uneven, and borrows from obvious Sergio Leone westerns, but you should find it entertaining. Worth seeing, if for no other reason, to see Patrick Stewart playing a crippled south american druglord who buries alive his disloyal wife in his opening scene. Another scene that will have you shaking your head in disbelief is when two main characters shoot each other in the leg in an attempt at humor. Drug Baron Peter Loomis (Patrick Stewart) has his $400 million dollar drug fortune stolen. Loomis sends O'Malley (Denis Leary), a ruthless killer to find his money. Cole Parker (Mario Van Peebles), a DEA Agent is on a south American mission of justice and revenge. He is sent to find his father's killer. Cole busts an eccentric smuggler (Christopher Lambert) to help Cole to find the smuggler's brother money that he has stolen from Loomis. But O'Malley wants to find the fortune for himself. In a Cat and Mouse game, Cole and the smuggler are forced to help each other to find the missing fortune trying to avoid, O'Malley and his men.<br/><br/>This is an fun, action-packed thriller with an fun sense of humor. This oddball cop/buddy movie with touches of the spaghetti western is directed by Deran Sarafian (Death Warrant, The Road Killer, Terminal Velocity). The film is weird and uneven but it is a fun movie to watch. Lambert is hilarious as a whacked out smuggler. This film was a Box Office disappointment. This little seen action film might have a cult following. If you love action films with something a little different. This is for you. Screenplay by Stephen Sommers (Deep Rising, The Mummy, The Mummy Returns). Panavision. (****/*****).
