I recently wrote about the film Shara and the use of Matthew McConaughey as Dirk Pitt. Having read the novels, I found him to be completely inappropriate in the role.Lo and behold, I think I have found the perfect Dirk Pitt should they decide to turn another Clive Cussler novel into a movie - Rick Schroder, who plays a policeman who comes to Barcelona to find his sister. This alone makes my time spent watching this worthwhile.But, there was one other good thing to come out of this movie. That was the discovery of Paulina Gálvez. I immediately starting searching for more films of this Spanish/Chilean beauty who did an incredibly good job in this sorry film.I wish I had spent some time in Barcelona when I went there in 1992. Unfortunately I just spent enough time to get out of the rush hour traffic I had inadvertently found myself in by making a wrong turn - it was a nightmare! Skip this baby.

Rick Schroeder really wears the mustache well in this movie. Let me tell you Rick has come a long way since the early days of Silver Spoons. You must give this guy some credit though, you have to make a living somehow. I would have to rate this a D movie. Special effects are some of the worst I have ever seen in a movie. Does anyone know if this made it into any theaters anywhere in the world? I have never acted a day in my life and am confident I could play the role Rick Schroeder played in this movie a 100 times better than he did.Most importantly lets not forget the mustache. I definitely could not have worn the mustache as well as Rick.

This is one of those movies that I accidentally came across while surfing the net. Some kid told me it's a good movie, so I watched it. I will regret that decision for as long as I live.The movie starts with a bomb going off in Barcelona. Now another plot unravels: a violent control freak of an American policeman comes to Barcelona to find his sister. This meaning he beats up everybody until he accidentally comes across evidence that he puts together from pure lack of plot complexity (in other words, the clues are so obvious, even he can't miss them). Eventually he finds his sister. Now the other bomb plot ends: the Palestinian guy that bombs the hell out of Barcelona has actually kidnapped (in the most possible pleasant way) the cops sister. He conveniently dies in the end."What?" you say "There wasn't a movie about terrorism and bombs? What about the bomb in the beginning of the movie?". No. Sadly, the bomb was just to make you watch the rest of the movie, as well as the title which had no connection with the plot.The only good thing about this movie was the performance of the "arab bomber", Californian Eric Balfour. You might know him from "Six Feet Under" or "24". However, as all the other actors played incredibly bad, I might overestimate the man for actually acting.

I thought this movie had a great plot to it. The action scenes were great and the fighting looked real. Some of the acting was a little off but for the most part it was good. Eric Balfour was awesome in it he was pretty bad a**, as Saleem Haddad!!! Rick Shroeder was pretty good too but I thought that they would have cast Balfour for the main role, his acting ability is a lot better!!! It also has an awesome European vibe to it, a little reminiscent of The Talented Mr. Rippley. I really did enjoy this one if your looking for a good action movie that's a little different then go for this one. Don't listen to other reviews, if you read the plot and your interested by it just watch it, don't let someone else's opinion sway you.
