As far as mindless cookie-cutter action movies go, you could certainly do much worse than Rapid Fire, though that’s hardly a ringing endorsement.

Rapid Fire boasts some pretty good action, a few well-choreographed fights and a self-deprecating sense of humor, none of which is able to raise the film above the ordinary.

Rapid Fire is a movie weary almost onto death with the sameness of its genre.
