Oh dear - what a mess. Scientist Luke Perry ("Michael") joins up with RCMP officer "Johnson" (Olivia d'Abo) to hunt down a missing scientist (Horst Buchholz) who has developed a weapon capable of annihilating mankind. Sir Roger Moore is the head of MI6 who offers them a helping hand tracking down the nasty "Mannek" (Hendrick Haese) and hopefully reconciling father with son - yes, of course there is some contrived familial tie up to it all. The thing flows like glue; Sir Roger looks like he is there under extreme duress and though handsome once, Perry no longer has his looks to fall back on so his acting talents (or lack of them) are somewhat exposed. To be fair to all, the script and direction are pretty dire too, the thing sort of lolls along like a slug on a pathway. The last ten minutes are slightly enlivening though, so maybe just spool through 80 minutes and just watch that - you won't have missed much.
