Fresh off the success of Face/Off, John Woo made ... a USA Network TV movie starring Dolph Lundgren? Why, yes. Yes, he did. Dolph is an ex-U.S. Marshal now working as a bodyguard. When protecting his casino owner BFF's tween daughter from an attack by mob hitmen, he is temporarily blinded by a flashbang. This doesn't stop him and the girl from defeating the hitmen, but it does leave him with a debilitating fear of the color white. A while later, BFF and his wife get killed anyway, and Dolph become's the daughter's guardian. Meanwhile, his cop buddy Fred Williamson is gunned down while providing security for a supermodel, who's being targeted by a deranged stalker. As a favor to Fred's wife, Dolph takes on the case despite his mental injury. What follows is some recognizably John Woo action sequences, as translated through a cable TV budget and the need to contrive ways to trigger Dolph's phobia of the color white -- such as a gunfight in a milk processing plant, for example. Nor will it ever be explained where the deranged stalker got an army of motorcycle-riding hitmen armed with anti-tank missiles. Or the sudden lurch from over-the-top action sequences to the Phantom of the Opera ending. We won't even learn whether the love interest is meant to be the sexy supermodel or the sexy psychologist. Whatever, if you wanted coherence, you probably wouldn't be watching a John Woo movie or Dolph Lundgren movie. Or, for that matter, a Fred Williamson movie (which you're not).
