I saw this film back in the day and my only recollection was that it was boring. I watched it again last night and was surprised by how entertaining it was. I suppose when it came out there were plenty of other films like it that were better. But seeing as how we're in the era of endless superhero movies and tired, woke reboots, I found this to be quite refreshing second time around.
The first 20 minutes or so is kind of dull, but then as soon as Cindy Crawford's house gets blown up the movie turns into a real cat and mouse thriller very similar to Enemy of the State.
William Baldwin and Cindy Crawford are both ok in this, even though the script occasionally lumbers them with bad dialogue and ludicrous behaviours. There are times where Crawford's character flounces off in a huff for no reason, other than the script requires her to be apart from Baldwin so he can rescue her again. If you can get past these occasional annoyances this is a decent fast-paced flick.
If the two lead characters had been played by someone like Mel Gibson and Rene Russo this would have been brilliant. As it is, it's still decent, but obviously has been largely forgotten. There's not even a blu ray of it as this point, which is a shame.
Victor Maitland from Beverly Hills Cop is good as the villain and there's an early appearance from Salma Hayek which almost steals the show. Pus Shooter McGavin is in it. There's lots to like!
