Pretty standard action fare
by Macholic2003-07-11
5/10

"This is a pretty standard low-budget actioner running just over 1 1/2h, it does have some points of interest: The cinematography is not bad, some cool helicopter action and the heroine Janet Julian is a looker. It is undemanding action fare, you can park your brain and kill 1 1/2h or so, I have seen it a couple of times, it's ok. 5/10 PS. The music video for Mike And the Mechanic's "Silent Running" is using scenes from this movie...."

💡 Did You Know?

Courteney Cox, Helen Hunt, and Mariska Hargitay were all considered for the lead female role that ultimately went to Janet Julian.
