A new law's been passed in Tokyo. Ordinary folks are now allowed to freely carry firearms; shoot they're even legally allowed to use 'em. You might think that crime would increase and you'd be right. But the arrest rate's gone down. After all the only prison a dead man needs is a hole in the ground. All thanks to RAPT. The Recent Armed Police of Tokyo is stealing away jurisdiction from the local authorities quicker than a bullet leaves a barrel. What that means is that folks are getting desperate. And desperate people with itchy fingers mean more bodies in the streets. Now I'm not sure if she came from up above or somewhere way down below but an angel's just come to Earth. She's an enigma but with her partners Sei Amy and Meg she's the best chance this town's got. Her name's Jo. And there's a new sheriff in town. Contains all 24 episodes.
John McTiernan (The Hunt for Red October) imaginatively directs this action comedy, which is an interesting failure with some fascinating ironies that make it well worth seeing. Arnold Schwarzenegger plays both a character named Jack Slater--a fictional cop hero who exists only in the movies (ie, the movies seen by the characters in this movie) and the actor who plays Jack Slater in the real world (ie, in the movie we're actually watching). McTiernan's hall-of-mirrors effect is fun, though Last Action Hero never quite identifies itself as a pure action movie, science fiction, a kid's movie, or anything else. (The expensive film suffered at the box office as a result and was roundly criticised for this ambivalence.) What lingers in the memory, however, is Schwarzenegger, playing himself, being confronted by Slater for having created an alter ego for film in the first place. It's a provocative moment: how often have we seen a major star blatantly wrestle with his actor's legacy in this way? --Tom Keogh
