Warning: Spoilers
On the eve of a US-Japan trade summit, a reporter gets a tip that the Japanese-American head of a big aerospace firm will be selling trade secrets.

Intent on getting a scoop, the reporter hires private investigator John Blaylock to help her find out just what information is being handed over.

In the course of snooping, the pair are discovered, but not before they learn that the Japanese contact is a member of the Yakuza.

When the executive turns up dead after an apparent suicide, the pair realise that some very big secrets are being kept by some very important people.....

Oliver Gruner, Jeff Speakman, Jalal Merhi, Brian Bosworth. If you were of an age during the early nineties, these were names you'll recognise. They all had one decent movie, and then went on to make some awful movies.

Much like Griffith, and this movie. I've still yet to see Crackerjack, but I think that will be his defining movie. Yes he was in Vampires, XXX, and Karate Kid 3, but they were not vehicles like this.

The film promises so much, but if your looking for a straight up action film like they used to make, fight, talk a little, fight more, and then fight the main bad guy, you'll be sorely disappointed.

The marketers are to blame for this, name dropping two of the biggest action stars of the time on the cover is a big mistake, as this movie is more like Lundgrens Cover Up than anything else.

The cast are fine, its full of your generic typecasts and the good looking lead, but nothing else really happens.

A pointless movie.
