One of the better showcases for martial artiste Cynthia Rothrock, here unusually partnered with a proper actor (Stacy Keach) as an overenthusiastic rookie cop trapped in a besieged shopping mall by white supremacist psychos (led by token Brit Christopher Neame) who intend to slaughter a posse of politicians and dose the city with nerve gas. Rothrock has a nice time with funny tough talk, while Keach takes up the slack as her cop mentor. Some good action sequences and it makes a change to see a woman kicking ass and make it look believable. One of Rothrock’s better films.

Original Title:
Irresistible Force
An enjoyable piece of fluff, with some good action sequences from Rothrock in one of her better performances, and dialogue that is knowingly over-the-top allowing the viewer to have a few laughs and watch mindless violence.
