Disappointing Arnie comeback movie which, though thankfully low on the Commando-style excesses of his earlier movies, still fails to find a suitable amount of intelligence or plotting to compensate. It's all to do with some Catholic prophecy of the Devils return to Earth just before the new Millennium and the need to stop him before he impregnates a woman chosen at her birth to be the childs mother. Or something. The plot holes are so obvious you could drive a train through them (Byrne is impregnable early on but oddly pliable later, why do the Priests take so long killing the girl etc etc) and you feel like you're watching a movie made solely to cash in on the Millennium. A sort-of cinematic Greenwich Dome. And just as succcesful.
