Strapped is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. Strapped moves fast and earns its action sequences rather than just delivering them.

In a desperate attempt to get the charges dropped against his woman, he strikes a deal with a weapons cop to turn in local gun dealers. Michael Biehn and Bokeem Woodbine lead a cast that gives the action real stakes. Strapped came out in 1993. The geography of every set piece in Strapped is legible, which is rarer in the genre than it should be. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

For viewers who want their entertainment to move fast and not waste a scene, Strapped respects your time. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case.
