<B>Plot:</B><BR>
John Kruger works for the witness relocation program as a U.S. Marshall.
His job is to remove all traces of the identity of any witness in the
program and to, as called for, eliminate threats against any of those
witnesses. John works alone and is the best at what he does. When Lee
Cullen, a high level executive with a U.S. weapons manufacturer, turns
over evidence of illegal arms deals to the FBI, John is assigned to
protect her. But they both soon find that the level of treason extends
far past the Cyrex Corporation and into high levels of the government.
John and Lee become the target of these money grubbing capitalist pigs
and their survival depends upon John's ability to protect both of them. -

<B>Comment:</B><BR>
This is a typical action movie with nothing particularly interesting, not
even in its own genre. The plot is rather weak, the special effects aren't
particularly catching, there are a few moments of fun and a lot of action
scenes, but everything has been already seen in a lot of other similar
movies.
<P>
As everybody could expect, most things are exaggerated and unlikely, for
example when Arnold Schwarzenegger manages to catch a parachute pack while
both are falling from a plane, only James Bond used to do this sort of things
before!
<P>
After all, the movie is entertaining enough not to make the audience get
bored but it isn't good enough to make it rise over a number of similar
movies (unlike, for example, other Schwarzenegger's movies such as True
Lies).
