Summary: All too predictable thriller
Review: The most interesting thing to do with this film is to watch the first few minutes and then try to predict who will be left alive at the end.

I'm sorry to say that I got this right, it's so easy to predict what will happen.

The plot breaks no new ground. An Arab terrorist, Malik Al Rahim (Gene Simmons) enters the US with the intention of blowing up a Los Angeles chemical plant in revenge for the accident at Bhopal. The authorities persuade Nick Randall (Rutger Hauer) to come out of retirement to help hunt down his old nemesis. It's a kind of reversal of Blade Runner where Harison Ford is the cop dragged out of retirement to hunt down and kill Rutger Hauer.

The film deals up lots of action, it is fast paced and Rutger Hauer's sardonic wit helps to keep things moving along. Sadly, at no point does the film ever really create any sort of tension or suspense. Nor does the film really add any depth to the characters.

It's the sort of film that you will enjoy watching with a small group of friends a takeaway pizza and a six pack but the Lethal Weapon series do this kind of thing much better.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hat's off to Gene "the Demon"!
Review: This film and "Runaway" are two good examples of Gene Simmons's acting ability. It shows that 'ol Gene is capable of other things than sticking out his tongue. If and whenver KISS does end its music career, Gene could make it as an actor, he's already proved that! I'm proud to own it on dvd. I highly recommend it!

Summary: THE DEMON SHINES!!
Review: THIS IS A 1980'S NO HOLDS BARRED ACTION FLICK AT IT'S BEST.EX CIA AGENT NICK RANDALL(HAUER)TURNED BOUNTY HUNTER,WILL STOP AT NOTHING TO GET THE TERRORIST MALAK AL RAHIM (SIMMON'S).THIS MOVIE DOESN'T GET MUCH TV TIME IF ANY BECAUSE OF THE EVENTS FROM 9/11.WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT GENE SIMMON'S(THE DEMON FROM KISS) COULD ACT.WELL HE CAN AND HE IS VERY CONVINCING IN THE ROLE OF THE VILLAIN AL RAHIM.IN THIS MOVIE WHERE THE HUNTER HAS BECOME THE HUNTED,THE FAST PACE AND NON STOP ACTION WILL KEEP YOU ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT.IF THATS NOT ENOUGH, THEN STICK AROUND JUST FOR THE ENDING.THIS MOVIE HAS ONE OF THE BEST ENDINGS IN AN ACTION FLICK OF ALL TIME.THIS MOVIE SHOWS YOU THERE'S ONLY ONE BRAND OF JUSTICE FOR THE BAD GUY.I AGREE COMPLETELY WITH ANOTHER REVIEWER WHO STATED GENE SIMMON'S WAS GREAT IN RUNAWAY AS A BAD GUY.HE COULD HAVE HAD A LONG HOLLYWOOD CAREER AS A VILLAIN.TREAT YOURSELF TO WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE TODAY.IF YOUR LOOKING FOR A MOVIE WHERE RUTGER HAUER IS THE TERRORIST PICK UP A COPY OF NIGHT HAWKS YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Wanted Dead or Alive
Review: Wanted Dead or Alive staring Rutger Hauer as a bounty hunter and Gene Simmons as a Terrorist on the loose in Los Angeles. While it was your standard blow up shootem up action movie, it has a decent storyline and likeable characters. Well acted and a little more serious than Lethal Weapon, this is definately a movie worth taking home.
