CGiii Comment
This was a box office flop - with a supposed budget of about $100,000,000 - how can anyone justify this sort of crap for that amount of money???
It's the usual Arnie stuff - monosyllabic, one-liners, corny gags, the body count and a gay bar with a flicker of a drag show (ahem).
Pointless - to the point of bashing your head against a brick wall.
