Los Angeles Times - 08/25/1989

"...Director Andy Davis keeps his scenes jumping with pungent details, banter, edge-of-the-frame business sliding past fast....[The actors] are always interesting to watch..."

Product Description:

A United States Army sergeant unknowingly gets involved in a subversive plot while transporting a prisoner back to the U.S. from West Germany. But the prisoner escapes and the sergeant is joined by his ex-wife to clear his name and recapture this mysterious man.

Plot Synopsis:

After bungling an important security detail in Europe, Army officer Johnny Gallagher is assigned to escort a soldier to trial. After being jumped by thugs in a washroom, allowing the prisoner to escape, he begins to suspect that he has stumbled onto something big. He's not sure who's behind it, or why, but one thing's for sure: they're out to get him before he figures it out.
