I just watched this movie recently, and I really didn't think it was that bad. Some aspects of it are actually quite appealing. Interesting plot - Swedes develop a submarine tracking laser that could completely change the cold war. Then practically immediately after it is tested successfully, it is stolen.
Good premise, but it sort of leaves you unsatisfied. The main character is kind of a dopey young guy and his role in the movie isn't very strong from a character standpoint. So you aren't really routing for him that much throughout the film.
Some of the other characters are better, specifically Dennis Hopper's. Almost every scene with him was good, as he's easily the best actor in the movie and his character is pushy and arrogant in a enjoyable sort of way.
