Pretty good thriller imo
shareI watched it last night.
Pretty good film! I'm a little surprised I had never heard of it before, considering the cast and the quality of the movie, but I hadn't. I only learned of it because a friend recommended it.
I thought the story was interesting, the cast is solid, and the mystery is intriguing. However, if I had one complaint, it's that so little is given away in terms of the plot of the conspirators that I felt a little lost in terms of the story until the final act. But at least by the end everything is clear.
The film is also interesting as a time capsule for the late 80s, with the Cold War just wrapping up and people still worried about nuclear war between the US and Russia.
Overall, a solid watch. I enjoyed it. I'm surprised it only has a 6.4 on IMDB.
It’s pretty much the definition of a 3-star thriller.
Competently made, watchable, a couple of decent acting and action moments, but it's very nuts-and-bolts with not much in the way of invention or surprise.
Worth checking out if you’re a Hackman or Tommy fan, but it’s a lesser Andrew Davis film, and looks kinda cheap.
