Doomsdayer Review
Human action figure Joe Lara, he of the intensely chiseled features, is more James Bond than G.I. Joe in this save-the-planet espionage romp. Lara, who usually plays a lonely (and somewhat dim) sex object, gets the girl(s), infiltrates the enemy, confronts the evil genius, and causes mass destruction, all of it done fairly well and on a low budget by debuting director Michael J. Sarna, a veteran stunt coordinator. Lara and co-star Sandra Gomez, as his multi-skilled warrior former lover, have little chemistry, but Brigitte Nielsen, who continues to look less human with each, um, enhancement, and Udo Kier, whose career has gained momentum in the last few years (see him at his best in Kiss of the Vampire), have chemistry to burn as the insane couple trying to rule the world. Zany villains, lots of fiery explosions, and a subplot involving the weapons maker (a Latino version of Q in the Bond series) to whom Logan loses the girl, add up to a film that fills the needs of those desperately seeking mindless, military-oriented B-movie violence.
