Audience Member Not a good film. The Martial Art type fight scenes are a kind of a 'very bad Bruce Lee copy'. Filmed so fast that you can't see what's going on. And the 'Riot action' and burning of cars and props is so 'low budget'...give this film a 'big miss'.. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Gary Daniels takes on the IRA's Leprechaun division. Text book Ooooirsh accents. Comedy gold. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Generic mid-90s action flick, that wants to be Die Hard but isn't even a bad Seagal DTV flick. Daniels is a plank of wood, but as a genuine martial artist is more then competent in the action stakes. 'Sugar' Ray should stick to boxing and whoever decided to use the IRA as the force behind the LA riots needs a good slap. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member British agent is assigned to return the Ambassador's daughter after being kidnapped by a LA street gang fronting for the IRA. A little unusual seeing an urban riot not triggered by the fortunes of the local sports team, although Daniels does battle a rampaging roller hockey squad in the riot zone. Sugar Ray Leonard displays limited skills in the arena of acting. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member PLOT: "Riot" REVIEW COMING........ Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Ever wondered why you've never heard of Gary Daniels? - this film may go someway to answering that. An actor so bad he makes Dolph Lundgren look impressive and supported by Sugar Ray Leonard who mercifully (for me at least) is killed off very early on. On top of that two actors with truly atrocious Irish accents as the chief bad-guys and the worst score ever committed to film - and you have one giant steaming pile of shite!
