Custom cop Jack David (Michael Paré) and his men are ambushed at the Miami docks. Five of his guys are killed. He punches out his supervisor and is fired after getting all the blame. Sandra Ficher introduces him to Roberto Largo (Michael Ironside) to work as a bodyguard for his wife Eva (Barbara Carrera). Jack suspects his old boss Martin Cullen is corrupt and responsible for the deaths. He discovers a connection between Largo and Cullen.This is a pretty bad action B-movie. The acting, the directions and the overall style are all clunky lower level stuff. Everything screams B-movie. The stage fighting is 70s kung fu. The dialog and acting is stiff. Some of the characters are way too ridiculous. Michael Paré is pass his best before date. They throw in some nudity and some explosions to complete the B-movie checklist.

This is a low-class (almost no-class) action film which has as its main feature two steamy sex scenes. I saw the unrated version which had a lot of French kissing and Michael Pare licking Barbara Carrera's nipple. Carrerra was so sleazy-looking in this movie, so cheap looking, that so sex scenes did nothing for me.Meanwhile, the dialog in this film is incredibly stupid and none of the characters are appealing. We all need somebody to root for, but there is no one here.In a nutshell: this is pure garbage. I am glad to see the other reviewers here share this view.

I bought this one on DVD (titled "Spanish Rose") for only 25 Norwegian Kroner (about 3 U.S. dollars and 50 cent), and normally that doesn't mean quality. It didn't mean that for this movie either. The story in the movie is OK, but no more than that. It's a typical 'single cop fighting against both his superiors and the enemy'-movie, because no one believes what really happened when one of his colleagues died. Sound familiar? The movie was announced as an action-movie, but personally I would say it's more of an action-thriller. There are not that many action scenes in the movie, and they aren't that entertaining either. There are also a couple of really long love scenes that I think had suited better for a soft porn movie. This is a typical sign that the movie isn't any good. And it isn't.

Being experienced enough to have watched many, and varied movies, I find this to be another example of Michael Pare's relaxed, natural ability to become his character.I must confess, this movie contains the sexiest love scene I've ever witnessed. As he lays back on the white sheets, surrounded by white curtains and breezes, and he tilts his head back, shutting his eyes tightly, drawing his breath in through his teeth in sheer pleasure, then saying "Oh god, oh god, oh god, oh god...", turning his face toward the camera... what can I say? Works for me. I also took a line from the movie as a personal identifier, rewriting it so as not to steal. It is when he picks her up in his apartment to take her to bed, saying: "Life is too short to say no!"No matter how the other actors carry off their roles, Pare' always gives each character he plays, his best.Thank you, Michael Pare'....Nikita Samuelle
