Saw it originally in the cinema in the UK in 1994, thought then it was a superior low-budget action flick with a superior star, then unknown Viggo Mortensen. A lot of action but also character, too. I even got the cinema to give me the promotional cardboard cutout once its run was over.

I'll try not to wait another three decades before seeing it again!
