This movie was awesome!


wow i guess no one has seen this movie. Wow they're missing out big time. When i saw this dvd cover and read about this i thought the movie was going to suck but it was great because of one man Russell Crowe!

"wow i guess no one has seen this movie."

You'd be right! I'd never heard of it and I think I understand why.

The best aspect of the film was the acting of the three leads which was pretty good and actually quite entertaining when the film went into "road movie mode."

But the action sequences were poorly shot and tacky looking.

I never quite understood the significance of skin heads being the apparent hired help of the Mafia, even allowing for the fact that the Don's son was a skinhead.

And whilst I'm not averse to open ended conclusions, in this movie we never find out what happens to two of the three principal characters. The credits just come up after Zack presumably is taking Eric to a baseball game along this seedy looking dive of an alley. Bizarre!

It's a B movie. Russell Crowe plays an FBI agent with long hair and an Aussie accent. For some reason the FBI "office" is in an unfinished building with tarps everywhere. I thought Helen Slater was funny. I could have done without the male rear nudity at the beginning.
