Underrated movie


I actually remember when this film was being advertised way back in the day and I really wanted to see it. For whatever reason I didn't end up watching it in theater and then I heard mostly bad shit about it, so never did get around to it.

I noticed last night that it was on HBO though, so I said fuck it and gave it a look at last, 22 years after the trailer first caught my eye.

Having now seen it, I think the response to the film was a little harsh:

I'm surprised that even the audience score is a bust. I didn't think the movie was GREAT but I did enjoy it for the most part. It has a good cast, there are some well-done action scenes, and it's fun to see Bruce Willis play a villain and run around in a bunch of different disguises.
