CHOKE CANYON is a very cheap and dated action flick of the 1980s, worthwhile only to see a couple of familiar B-movie faces in support. The story is the old one about a sinister organisation trying to kick a guy off his land so that they can move in and use it for their own nefarious purposes, which is the dumping of toxic waste this time around. They hire Bo Svenson's assassin to take down our hero, while Lance Henriksen plays a corporate bigwig. Sadly, the square-jawed hero type is entirely dull, although some of his gadgetry is outlandish (not to mention unrealistic). The movie picks up steam on occasion, and there's some fun and goofy helicopter action, but overall this is largely forgettable.
