    Not bad but not great either. Average is the word for everything except how good James Woods is at delivering a line no matter the quality of the rest of the film.

    Watched this today because there was nothing else on tele and it was an all right film. There was quite a lot of action, mostly involving explosions - lots of them.
    Silverster Stallone plays the usual role of a tough and clever assassin. Sharon Stone did pretty well too, though I haven't seen many of her films so can't compare this role to her other ones. The acting by James Woods impressed me a lot actually.
    Overall it's an OK film, that maybe you just watch 1-2 times because then this film doesn't provide anything special for the rewatching.

    Sexy Shazza is out for revenge for the death of her family and enlists the help of explosives expert Sly Stallone. A sometimes silly but enjoyable action movie with a memorable shower scene!

    Sharon Stone was still hot those days, nothing else to add. I hope Woods got enough money for doing this crap.

    Only the action sequences and the larger-than-life supporting performance by James Woods save this action movie from being an utter disaster. Sylvester Stallone makes a great performance as the explosives specialist hired by a woman seeking revenge against the Cuban-American gangsters who killed her parents.

    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 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!

    Sly tries to hold off from bangin' Sharon Stone - Yeah - that's realistic! A hitman with a conscience! Pretty good story & action at least...

    This is a surprisingly good movie. And this is not only for the famous sex scene between Stallone and Stone that caused her iminant divorce but it actually had good acting, good dialogue and a twisting plot. Very enjoyable.

    With a name like Ray Quick, the jokes practically write themselves. Stone may have been hot then, but, well, let's say this film is pretty blah.

    ick: You like watching them die? You like taking them down? Now I'm taking you down. You're finished in the agency. You're going no higher. You're as dead as those people in the river. We both are.

    I remember seeing this at the movies as a young teenager. There was a muscle that I'd never seen before and am likely to never see again. That's all I remember about it!

    Sylvester's not the best actor by far, but played the part of an action hero really well in this movie!!

    A textbook case of Hollywood Schmaltz. If they put this much energy into making it a watchable movie rather than this cheese-fest, it might have been something.

    The worst thing about this movie is actually the love scene between Sly and ermm... himself. There is plenty of Sly's icky shoulder veins, deformed muscles and ridiculous poses. Disturbing.

    The "specialists", i.e. the critics, have really come down hard on this one. But in my opinion they've overreacted, and hunted it almost in mass-psychosis. It is no darn drama that deals with the questions about life or like that..it's drama in form of action, and if you want it (presumably why you chose it), you get it!

    this movie was good because of the plot and the acting. sharon stone and james woods are exactly the same here as tehy were in casino! rod steiger was like the godfather. the movie doesnt have a lot of action though.

    Laughable action thriller in which Sly and Stone completely fail to ignite any chemistry at all in amongst a load of pointless explosions and uninteresting plot "twists". James Woods looks like he's enjoying himself a lot more than the audience is.
