Armageddon (1997) – Tibor Takács.
Tibor Takacs entertainingly pulpy Sci-actioner finds dastardly Kung Fu villain Mark Dacascos and coolly ambivalent mercenary Hauer locking horns within some grimly futuristic totalitarian Soviet state that eerily resembles contemporary Russia. Formula text is thankfully enlivened by plentiful, generously be-squibbed gun-play, energized performances, rewardingly frequent fisticuffs and an entirely welcome excess of fleshly fabulous T&A. As always, sleekly powerhouse pugilist Mark Dacascos excitingly delivers some nimble martial art beat-downs, and the ruggedly charismatic icon Rutger Hauer endows these bombastic cyberpunk shenanigans with far more gravitas than they deserve. I still dig this spunky 90s shoot 'em up, and I'm fairly certain that a few other action/Rutger Hauer fans may well share my positive impression of Armageddon.
