Seemingly intended to be a thriller of a movie winds up being almost laughable. It prompted me to exclaim "Oh my God!" more than once at the convoluted contrivances of plot that were just plain silly. Fanciful or absurd locations just for the sheer novelty or dramatic situation and improbable, near impossible, human reactions and circumstances are too much to be comprehended as to why they exist.If you have the time and wish to discover just how bad a picture can be then you will want to see this one. Otherwise dedicate some time into watching some paint dry for a more productive investment of time!(That a film released in 2003 is already being shown on TV in July 2003 might give an indication of the film's quality)

Without top caliber acting by Assante and Shroder I would characterize this as a poor man's Soderbergh film. It just can not seem to decide its identity. Some scenes (I suppose shot early when the money was plentiful) have a jazzy soundtrack and innovative photography (a la Out of Sight), while most have a distinctly Made-For-TV feel (Think of most films from Rob Lowe, Craig Scheffer, or Eric Stolz made in the past decade). In fact, I would say that watching this on TV, for free, is the only venue in which this film can be enjoyed. 5.5 / 10 stars.

Cool action and an interesting story holding it all together. Rick Schroder and Lola have some great scenes together. I like the role reversals too: Armand playing the good guy for once and Ricky the villain.It's definitely a movie where you have to pay attention in the open. A lot of set up and it moves pretty quickly.

This isnt a bad watch! Armand Assante puts on a good show; I enjoy his work. If you have seen his 2002 film "Last Run" and enjoyed that as I did then you will enjoy this flick...... The direction is superb with great action scenes to fill in any gaps. Out of ***** (5 stars) I give this film *** 3/4 stars, good Saturday evening film.
