“In Humphrey Bogartu0026#39;s style,Burt Reynolds interprets a cinic and malevolent anti-hero.His screen presence helps to elevate the filmu0026#39;s landing-place,differing it from the genreu0026#39;s vulgarity.The movieu0026#39;s plot is sufficient simple,and the characters are built in a mediocre way.However,director Russel Solberg bets on the action scenes,and he perfected them .The Burt Reynoldsu0026#39; team disastrous mission,at the beginning of the movie,is filled with supercharged shootings and explosions.The film achieves its principal aim,that is to make people have fun,and Burt Reynolds interprets his character in a delicious form.The public ends up wishing that he will escape with the gizmo and have all the money,even knowing that he doesnu0026#39;t worth nothing.Matt Battaglia also strives to offer a hero with credibility,who finds himself tied into the dilemma of running away from the past or facing his deadly rival from the old times.The final shooting,the helicopter crash and the terrorist attempt to the federal building are worthy of prominence.Stu Segall,a producer with tradition on television series,didnu0026#39;t disappoint,and conducted with efficiency a good action movie that,if suffers for its simple and weak plot,gets right in having chosen Burt Reynolds for the leading role and in not saving efforts by doing the action scenes.”
