    This is one of my more lazy reviews but It?s shit.
  • September 17, 2008
    Worth it for the John Barry score, the sex scene and James Woods.
  • September 6, 2008
    A very good action/thriller about a bomb specialist going after the mafia for revenge.
  • February 17, 2008
    Sharon Stone was still hot those days, nothing else to add. I hope Woods got enough money for doing this crap.

    Typical early 90's cheesy action fare. Silly and over the top, but damn it's alot of fun. The acting is pretty standard except for James Woods, who is such a fun bad guy, and the pace is actually pretty restrained for a movie of it's type. Some silly dialogue can be forgiven for ...( read more)the well done action set pieces and some great tension building. Ignore the rather repulsive sex scene and just enjoy the explosions. Good brainless fun!

    Just your everyday action movie using two star leads hoping for box office success. Didn't work as far as I'm concerned.
