Insights
Plot Summary
A decorated SWAT officer is framed for murder by a corrupt police captain and a ruthless drug lord. He must go on the run to clear his name and expose their criminal enterprise. The officer, with the help of a former colleague, races against time to gather evidence and bring the culprits to justice before they can eliminate him.
Critical Reception
Joggernaut was a direct-to-video release that received little critical attention. It is generally regarded as a low-budget action film with a straightforward plot and predictable action sequences. The performances were adequate for the genre, but the film did not stand out in the crowded market of 90s action thrillers.
What Reviewers Say
Offers standard action movie fare without much innovation.
Mark Hamill's presence provides a notable, albeit limited, draw.
The plot is formulaic and predictable.
Google audience: Audience reception data for Joggernaut is largely unavailable. What little commentary exists suggests it's a forgettable action film that served its purpose as a rental video for fans of the genre.
Fun Fact
Mark Hamill, best known for playing Luke Skywalker in Star Wars, took on a villainous role in the subsequent Joggernaut sequel, 'Joggernaut 2: Death Mix'.
