A mining engineer Rick Morgan in the fictional African country of East Zambesi gets involved with machinations concerning radioactive waste. This is an enjoyable film with the likeable Billy Zane in good form as Morgan, quipping dialogue nicely and convincingly performing the action heroics. He is well supported by Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa as the villainous (what else!) Chang, Ron Silver as the quietly corrupt official Monsieur Dupont and Robert Downey Jr as the hyperactive Jim Scott. The scenes between Mr. Zane and Mr. Downey Jnr were the best thing in the movie. It was filmed in lovely South African locations and enhanced by a pulsating music score from Danny Pelfrey. The last scene on the train was most exciting. An under rated movie perhaps.
