“This film is a very average 80u0026#39;s action/thriller. There really isnu0026#39;t a lot of action until the end, but I canu0026#39;t imagine it being categorized as anything else because the plot was so transparent and shallow that it couldnu0026#39;t be considered a drama or anything. This one has it all: Cheesy lines, the aforementioned bad plot, horrid and forced acting and really bad special effects.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe movieu0026#39;s upside, which most people already pointed out, is the cast. What were these people thinking when they agreed to be in this stinker? Thereu0026#39;s tons of big names in this film from when they were very young. Ben Stiller as a mobster, Liam Neeson as a u0026#39;hillbillyu0026#39;, Helen Hunt as the girlfriend…Adam Baldwin, Bill Paxton, and obviously Patrick Swayze. Speaking of Swayze, itu0026#39;s movies like this that really stopped his career from going from 15 minutes of fame to possibly 15 or more YEARS of fame.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBad accents, forced acting, out of place casting and everything else mentioned above made this movie a below average film even for its time. Unless youu0026#39;re a Swayze nut, stay away from this movie.”
