It's an action movie with the feel of a late 70's, or early 80's flick. There are no computer-generated special effects, no wire stunts, no grandiose mass destruction
much like early stuff from Chuck Norris, Van Damme, or Steven Seagal. Instead, it has equal parts realistic fighting, gun play and rugged American North-West road adventures. This movie came years before Jason Statham's "The Transporter", but the plots are eerily and suspiciously similar: Jalal Merhi stars as "Ray Stanton", an ex-cop, now working as security guard for a bank. When an attempted robbery leads to a violent gunfight that leaves Ray's wife dead, he loses his job and starts his own delivery service, transporting items that no other delivery services will touch. He soon finds that on one such run, the cargo is highly illegal, and his clients are international criminals. He also finds that they happen to also be responsible for his wife's death, years ago. Bent on revenge, Ray teams up with the retired boss from his old security guard company, to bring the murderers to justice. Olivier Gruner does not fight in this movie, but as a slick bad guy, he talks more than in all of his other movies combined
with his trademark European accent, of course. Justine Priestley does a memorable impression of Marilyn Monroe in a thong and a billowing white skirt, and David Carradine is his regular cool, professional self.
