What a sophomoric action-adventure story this turned out to be, one in which nobody can shoot straight, people aren't killed when they are supposed to be, the heroes get out of impossible situations all the time, etc., etc., all making this a movie with absolutely NO credibility.
Tack on a very irritating female heroine who turns from park ranger to Rambo overnight, and it really gets ludicrous.
However, there were a few bright moments. There are some great shots of the Grand Canyon and of Utah and the underground nuclear bomb explosion is spectacular with excellent sound. Then again, one can always except spectacular action shots from director John Woo. However, most of Woo's films are also dumb, like this one.
John Travolta was fine in a low-key role but the rest of the cast.....forget it. It's too stupid a movie to recommend.
