The sole survivor flees to Mexico. But authorities there are happy enough to surrender ex-IRA-turned-multinational-criminal Declan McBride . It makes little sense that they hand such a dangerous individual over to Tyree alone, not counting one other Ranger of predictably brief screen time. The lack of armed escort enables an ambush and escape.
Unless those skills consist of being a crack shot with a mean right hook, they remain a mystery here. Instead, he and Darby just get in various violent scrapes against the usual low-budget backdrops of warehouse districts, empty buildings, disused alleys, etc., the Texan almost invariably quicker on the draw and punch than the purported notorious criminals they’re continually outnumbered by.
