Wonderful character development!

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This is the standard American action / thriller soup with : gunfights, car chases, death, nudity, corrupted politicians, explosions, sex, corrupted cops, bar fight, … However, this movie has a jewel that is to say Pamela Anderson. I have always like her natural, her simplicity and her bad choices too. She is rather fun here and notwithstanding she is dressed very lightly all the movie, she manages to give 2 hot scenes as well ! The movie happens not in the usual LA but in New Orleans and it's true that the city isn't very glamorous ! I don't know why she chose to do it while she was already a star in « Baywatch » but it's better than her other (bad) movies (« snapdragon », « naked souls »).. It's funny to notice that the french video cover shows clearly the skin action and that all the cast is credited with their famous movies. Wondering if later the ones who did that one will be credited with « from « Raw Justice » »?

I love this film, i dare you to watch it and not laugh at the series of lame gags and poorly co-ordinated action scenes. I didn't think it was possible but this film manages to be both nonsensical and predictable at the same time. Around about this time Pamela Anderson must have been one of the most famous TV actresses around, but as you can see from this, her Film career never really took of, and to be fair her performance here is fairly terrible. The lead character of Mace is your typical loose-cannon angry ex-cop who despises "bleeding-heart judges" and does things his own renegade way. The character of Mitch is a man wanted for murder and completes the intrepid threesome who are the focus of the film, and for some reason our heroes have to run from the baddies chasing them through New Orleans. I have given this film a ranking of nine out of ten because I have watched it three times now and have enjoyed it thoroughly every time. Although in all honesty its not a great film, or even a good film, its by the numbers approach to presenting a cops and robbers action movie complete with lots of unnecessary sex and violence is just fun. I would recommend this film if you want a good laugh at a film that shouldn't really be taken seriously, especially if you find the "McBain" scenes from the Simpsons funny as this film could easily be a Ranier Wolfcastle production.

i thought this movie was kind of funny because david keith had sex with pamela anderson after a high speed chase. does anyone know why this is? the movie had D- action and a plot that only John Woo could do something with. It was a stupid movie but the sex scenes were good.

I have to agree with a lot of the comments on this film. To have good character actors such as Robert Hays (Airplane movies), Charles Napier (Rambo II), David Keith (Officer & Gentleman, U-571), and Stacy Keach (too many to list); you would expect better acting. But maybe they were actually making fun on this genre of a movie. The music for some of the scenes was actually comical. The plot of the movie is basic and definitely predictable. The sound effects doesn't always match the scene. Several times you hear the cocking of the hammer of a revolver but you see the gun is not even cocked. And speaking of the revolvers, where did they get those antiques? The main bad guy is the only one who is even using a semi-auto pistol and he can't even hit the side of a barn except in one scene; two shots, two dead. But despite all of the errors and predictability, I actually somewhat enjoyed watching this flick. And of course you had Pamela Anderson for eye candy. This film is from 1995 so she actually looks great (ala Baywatch) and not as she looks today.
