Michael Pare brings the movie down.


Bill Paxton should had played Tom Cody, and he's right there next to Pare.

MP was The Next Big Thing , but it never happened. Seems to lack charisma

he does have 183 acting credits

No, but I am impressed with his acting resume among other things. He also made righteous bucks doing commercials and print ads in Japan. His current wife is beautiful; the previous ones probably were, too. His personal quotes on IMDB are insightful and indicate he is an intelligent person. The streets of Hollywood are filled with people who were The Next Big Thing and faded away. Pare did not; he made a solid career. I am very impressed.

Also these days he projects a charming smile as opposed to his constant sneer in the 80's. 80's

He looks like he was a big dude in his day, but yeah he's pretty wooden.
