[7/10 · 14 December 2005]

This is a very enjoyable guilty pleasure, that has lots of cool action, with fun OTT performances and an excellent finale!. All the characters are good, and the story while routine is pretty cool, plus Brian Bosworth and Lance Henriksen both deliver fun performances. It's completely predictable, and while Brian Bosworth isn't a very good actor he entertained me big time! plus it had some really cool stunts throughout!.The opening is really wicked, and to be honest the only reason I rented this was because, i have never really seen anything with Brian Bosworth so i decided to tape it and surprisingly enough i enjoyed it!, plus this is a cult classic in my opinion!. Bosworth and Illana Diamant had pretty good chemistry together, and there are plenty of explosions and exciting chase scenes to keep one entertained!, plus one of my favorite moments was Lance Henriksen dressing up as a priest to get into the courtroom. It's pretty well made,and some of the dialog is hilarious!, plus all the characters were quite likable. This is a very enjoyable guilty pleasure, that has lots of cool action! with fun OTT performances and an excellent finale!, and I highly recommend it. The Direction is very good!. Craig R. Baxley does a very good! job here with solid camera work, cool angles and keeping the film at a very fast pace!. The Acting is fun if nothing else. Brian Bosworth is not a very good actor at all, however he kept me very entertained, he was fun to watch, and blew lots of sh*t up, had some cool lines,and was one big dude, I liked him. Lance Henriksen is great here he was wonderfully OTT, a lot of fun to watch, quite menacing, and really seemed to be enjoying himself, he can do these roles in his sleep though!(Henriksen Rules!!). Illana Diamant is beautiful and did fine with what she had to do i liked her,she also had decent chemistry with Bosworth. William Forsythe acts with his Cigar, as I didn't care for his character, he was OK, but he can do a lot better then this. Sam McMurray and Richard Gant are good as the FBI agents. Rest of the cast do fine. Overall I highly recommend it. ***1/2 out of 5
