at this point in their careers. Neither one was that convincing nor compelling in their roles. I never saw their characters. I saw Bruce Willis and Richard Gere, playing stereotypes. 2 Dimensional stereotypes, at that. Sidney Poitier was good, but then, he's almost always good.

Bruce Willis isn't too bad in this rather good in the role to be honest

Never rat on your friends, and always keep your mouth shut

Wouldn't be anywhere near as funny without Richard Gere.

Dick, this is nuts.

Sorry, I saw absolute no merits in either performance. Both were out of the league.

I thought Willis did a great job. Gere is simply a horrible actor.

I thought Willis did a wonderful Job. Gere was terrible. Sidney Poitier played Sidney Poitier I thought.
