My rating: 7/10
Will I watch it again? Yeah.
Good flick. I haven't seen it in about twenty five years and it still holds up well. Good performances and it's really neat seeing John C. Reilly and Ving Rhames in some before-they-were-famous roles. It's an interesting story and there are some good action scenes and plenty of tension but the film is ultimately a big studio looking Hollywood picture. That both helps and hurts but it's got great production values and a good Morricone score so it's got that going for it. The Columbia DVD has a nice looking anamorphic widescreen print and some extras. You get a 20 minute interview with Fox, a making of featurette, some deleted scenes and trailers.
