Lundgren is wrongfully accused of murder and sent to prison, framed for killing a cop in cold blood. Before his incarceration, he escapes and hotfoots around the mid-west trying to clear his name. Alfonso, playing a sexy Sheriff with kung fu capabilities (apparently), is kidnapped and taken along for the ride, accompanying their journey with extended shower scenes. Armstrong creates a great sense of adventure but the script is sloppy, the performances broad and the filmmaking too ham-fisted to be taken seriously. The John Woo inspired gun fights are also quite tiring.
