Summary
More like a series of MTV sequences than a long-term narration, this super-thin story line focuses on a kidnapped singer (Diane Lane) and her ex-boyfriend (Michael Pare) who goes forth to save her through rainy streets, the roar of elevated subways, several alleys, and the usual warehouses. Each thrust of the story has rock music that follows along with the narration. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi
A handsome, heroic soldier of fortune returns to his old neighborhood to rescue his exgirlfriend, rock-star Ellen Aim, from the clutches of the evil motorcycle gang that has kidnapped her.
