Anyone who has never seen a thriller, a court drama, a story about serial killers, an anti-death penalty plot, scenery being gobbled by Ed Harris, the Everglades, or a movie unsure enough of itself that it has to front load the whole thing with a bunch of big and medium names will find Just Cause absolutely riveting.
Oh, JC wasn't bad (except for Sean Connery looking a bit bewildered). In my head I started listing off movies I've seen that Just Cause copies. I only got frustrated with this derivative thing when Kate Capshaw drives a car over a draw bridge, the car hits hard, the air bags stay put, and the car goes on its merry way with no discernible damage.
Just Cause works because it doesn't stretch our credulity, but that was a sloppy and stupid moment, and it didn't help.
If you've got 102 minutes to blow, and you don't have any problem with the plot and the language and gore and the we've-seen-this-before, you have a movie night in store.
