“The movie fascinated me because of the plot, but once it got underway my fascination took a different direction. I think for the only time in my life I laughed at people getting shot. Segallu0026#39;s Dutch accomplice shoots everyone! He himself is shot four different times. The hotel clerk wonu0026#39;t give out a room number? Ask her to call and see which number she dials. Then, instead of unobtrusively going to that room, shoot her!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe farce is complete when Segall faces down an opponent holding a gun 20 yards away. He flings a flight recorder CD with a little C4 stuck on like gum at his assailant. We see the disk igniting in mid-air in slow motion. Does the other guy shoot? No, he just stares at a CD coming to blow him away. The CD has the extra fun effect of propelling him backwards and upwards through a conveniently placed 2nd story picture window.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI must admit; I enjoyed this so much that I immediately went out to get another Segall movie to see if it is as ridiculous. I canu0026#39;t explain why this is entertaining, but it is! IT IS!!”
