Standout Aspects

Stunts

The armored car heist opening is genuinely competent, then downhill fast.

Acting

Matthew Modine commits harder than this script deserves.

Best for:Background: Perfect for folding laundry while vaguely aware something is happening.·Friends: Mystery Science Theater 3000 style roast session required.·Rewatch: Only to confirm that yes, it really was that confusing.
Heads up:Violence: Standard shootouts, nothing memorable or gratuitous.
