An ex-commando's daughter is kidnapped in a ploy to have him help overthrow a foreign government, but this single father will instead fight to rescue her.
This is a movie that gets to the god damned point. It's full of tension and action, and every other line is memorable. It holds up exceptionally well, only being unsurprisingly limited by the lack of mobile phones in 1985.
I really hope you like steel drums.

The music throughout the film is.. totally wrong. The bad brass drums just sounds stupid.
- That opening intro where they establish the father/daughter love relationship has REALLY inappropriate music.
