NOTES |
This is a
"what if" film. Like what if terrorists had attacked the |
|
In one of
those amazing coincidences the hero is a member |
|
of the
maintenance staff who was a former Olympic gymnast |
|
but who lost
a leg in a previous encounter with the terrorists. |
|
His
disability and disappointment turned him onto drink. |
|
Hence his
now lowly position working in the swimming pool |
|
area where
his ex-girlfriend is the swimming coach. |
|
Of course he
is as much a janitor as Seagal was a chef in |
|
Under Siege
(1992), and Blast is ,like Under Siege, a poor |
|
man's Die
Hard. Despite his disability our hero is the fly in the |
|
ointment for
the terrorists and as he picks them off his |
|
stature
rises in the eyes of his ex-girlfriend. You can guess |
|
Fittingly
his opponent, the leader of the terrorists, is Rutger |
|
Hauer who
has recovered from his blindness in "Blind Fury" |
|
(1990) but
is still no match for our one-legged janitor. |
