"The little dictator who went to Moscow in his green fatigues to receive a bear hug," he said of Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega Saavedra, "did not forsake the doctrine of Lenin when he returned to the West and appeared in a two-piece suit.

...Eddie Cusak, Norris refuses to go along with the cover-up of a killing by a scruffy underling (Ralph Foody) and tries to mediate a gang war. He may be good, but he has no family and no girlfriend, and gets uncomfortable the one time he is obliged to hug a woman. He displays an unfailing courage and shoots straight, period. But this is a new Norris: he creams bad guys with roundhouse bursts of martial arts just twice. In Forced Vengeance there were 17 karate sequences...
