Entertainment made well enough that you can overlook its absurdities.
63
There are a few ingenious zig zags in its otherwise by-the-numbers plot...but what keeps you interested... is the sheer movie-star presence of the actors in the lead roles.

TNT RoughCutMatt Kelsey
Jones' pursuit of Judd follows the tried-but-true plotline of winding cat-and-mouse chases that lead to big climaxes.
50
Preposterous, if diverting, revenge fantasy that rivals Rambo in sheer narrative chutzpah and vigilantism.

Baltimore SunMilton Kent
It's just too bad that you can see everything coming from a mile away.
50
Bad in a good way if you appreciate this sort of silly thriller.

A carnival of stupid coincidences, paper-thin characterizations, and inept staging, lighting and montage.

Judd is slumming again in ths lame suspense yarn that could barely pass as a TV quickie without the bankable names of Judd, Tommy Lee Jones and director Bruce Beresford.

It has no subtlety, no shadings, and no suspense, and might as well not have a screenplay.
