The final 10 minutes of this movie are so atrocious abs hilarious, is where all 3 of my points came from for this review. It's the sign on Hauer's wheelchair that gets me every time. Like, why is it there? He could've just said the one liner instead? This whole sequence raises so many hilarious questions, I was entertained for at least an hour after the movie was over. How was Hauer treading water if he was disabled? Lol just hilarious...

This movie is similar on movie "Mean guns". Two main colors: orange-outside and blue-inside, one director and common actors (Kimberly Warren, Yuji Okumoto and others)! I like Linden Ashby, because he had strong nature and with broken leg, he was fighting with terrorists. Movie was not very strained and very expensive, but i don't watched on price, i had receive pleasure because of tempers of heroes: Jack, Omodo, Leo. I like it for invisible pleasant sense after seeing of movie.

LOW BUDGET ACTION MOVIE. If we can even call it as a MOVIE

Well it does have Rutger Hauer and Andrew Divoff and Linden Ashby but even so this is an ineffectual 'Die Hard' inspired film. The three capable actors are not served well by the routine script and jolly Sonya Eddy as Bena was needlessly killed off too early. The setting is mainly a swimming pool and lots of corridors. No excitement or thrills there. But it was almost worth sitting through for the crazy ending when Hauer takes out Divoff. It was most hilarious.

Not sure if I got the spelling correct, but it's Italian for "half-and-half." *Warning: spoilers ahead.* Sure; it's a rip-off of the "DIE HARD" trilogy. And, truth to tell, Janitor Jack doesn't get _any_ guidance from Agent Leo until the last fifteen or twenty minutes of the film. Furthermore, if I had been the director, I would have had the swimteam extras with the bathing caps be among the casualties. I mean, they kept them on through the whole movie!! What real-life hostages would've done that? But, at least, they provided _some_ explanation for why the hero knew martial arts. The very similar "SUDDEN DEATH" obviously had a bigger budget. And, yet, they _never_ explained how Van Damme's character (a divorced fire marshal) was so proficient at hand-to-hand combat! So, where I give "SUDDEN DEATH" two stars, I give "BLAST" half a star more.

Though dated, the Atlanta Olympics is the setting for this by the numbers "Die Hard" type film. Supposedly based on a scenario that "could have happened", terrorists seize the US Women's swim team and hold them hostage at the Aquatic Center. What they didn't count on is a janitor (Ashby) who also happens to be an ex-Tae Kwon Do Olympic medallist. He takes on the terrorists while being guided through it all by Mr. Leo (Hauer), a terrorist expert with Interpol who lost his legs in an explosion caused by the terrorist leader (Divoff). The action is strictly by the numbers with a mix of martial arts and gunplay. Ashby is excellent in his role and both Hauer and Divoff seem to be enjoying themselves in their roles. Not seen on cable much, but I'd rent it if you happen across it at your local video store.
