My review was written in October 1989 after watching the movie on Raedon video cassette.
This okay sequel to "L. A. Heat" brings back police detective Jon Chance in a vengeance saga for the home video audience.
Lawrence-Hilton Jacobs plays chance (for the third time on screen), assigned to a big kidnapping case for which he recruits his retired captain (William Smith) as backup. Smith is killed and Chance quits the police force.
He's brought back into the case by the kidnapped girl's father, however, and brings in a willing, though neophyte pal (Jastereo Coviare) to help.
Action is predictable but well-staged and Jacobs' smooth performance is film's chief asset. Coviare, who also composes musical scores for action pics, is appealing as Jacobs' American Indian sidekick.
