Genres, Themes, Actors, and Directors:
Review: Flashing forward, we see that Norris is now a graduate student in political science at UCLA, who enjoys racing cars on the side: … and has no trouble being pursued by numerous beautiful women — including a mysterious reporter (Anne Archer) who he quickly becomes involved with. Meanwhile, we see Haynes getting increasingly suspicious about a spate of strategic murders taking place across the nation — all involving men who were part of their elite team. The film takes us across various scenic locales, including a ski resort at Lake Tahoe: … with bloody sniper kills interspersed at regular intervals. What role does aging alcoholic politician Edgar Harolds (Dana Andrews) play in all of this? That’s not revealed until much later on; but one thing is guaranteed: we will get to see Norris fighting at least once. Note: Watch for Jim Backus in a cameo role as a doorman.
