It's a shame that this movie hasn't made it to DVD while so many of Biehn's later movies have. This is far superior to "Cherry Falls", "Jade", "Deep Red", and "Clockstoppers".
The plot is a tired one...deadly super-assassin gets amnesia and is chased around by his former employers, while he is astonished at his apparently innate abilities and deadly skills. It's like a dry-run of "The Bourne Identity".
BUT...Biehn and the others do a good job with the material. The SFX are decent for a low-budget flick, the villains are suitably creepy, and the finale on the high-rise rooftop is reasonably satisfying.
Kudos to Biehn, too, for maintaining his innocence throughout most of the film. He seems genuinely puzzled by his own actions, which makes him all the more endearing to us as he blows away the bad guys.
Certainly one of Biehn's TOP 10 movies, though not up to "K2", "The Rock", or "The Terminator".
