ReelViews -
Not only is it a thrill-a-minute ride, but it has one of the best film villains in recent memory, a hero everyone can relate to, dialogue that crackles with wit, and a lot of very impressive pyrotechnics.

The result is a foot-stomping rouser. Where else can you get a cop in his underwear boogalooing with skyscraper terrorists? [15 July 1988, Life, p.4D]

Washington Post -
A firepowered, blood-drenched action picture that doesn't let up.

Slick, glossy, overblown, implausible. [15 July 1988, Daily Notebook, p.E1]
