Low-grade Bondian imitation, although the focus is not on the Bond figure (played in a take-the-money-and-run style by the usually dependable Lance Henriksen) but on his daughter, a champion gymnast / martial artist played by the extremely flexible and athletic Kristie Phillips (she's clearly the best thing the film has to offer). It features lots of international locations, but they're so flatly photographed that they're practically indistinguishable from one another. (*1/2)

Lance Henriksen got paid something to appear in this. I hope it was a lot.Former US National Champion gymnast, Kristie Phillips starts as Charlie Case, a gymnast-turn-secret-agent (because it's very common that munchkin gymnasts become government spies...)There's a truly hysterical opening scene where Charlie's uneven bars routine is sabotaged by an eastern-bloc competitor. What follows is one of the most ridiculous stunt scenes I've ever witnessed....and they want you to take it seriously! Don't worry...she sticks her dismount.Everything after that is just a messy, dreck of a spy movie. Watch the first fifteen minutes for the campy-gymnastics stuff, then run for cover.

The acting in this action movie was minimal, the action perfunctory, but gymnast Kristie Phillips is very easy on the eyes and spends much of the film in a bikini or shorts. Plus she kicks a lot of butt. Combine that with the cheesy dialogue, and it's a harmless way of passing a Sunday afternoon.

This movie which stars a fine Kristie Philips is fine and very entertaining. Especially those scenes concerning gymnastics. The movie has a lot of chases, but not the ordinary ones, these have a comedy look to it and this makes it entertaining to watch and enjoy.Kristie Philips is extremely fine on screen.
