The whole conspiracy this is based around is so poorly explained, they have Tommy Lee Jones and Gene Hackman together and they barely ever interact, this was a frustrating experience.

Blir nok en del Gene Hackman på meg fremover...kanskje Hollywoods beste skuespiller de siste 60 årene. God her også i regi av Andrew Davis som er filmbyens mest undervurderte actionregissør.

Decent little thriller but I refuse to believe Joanna Cassidy’s hair was regulation.
RIP Gene Hackman.

just tommy lee jones charm-maxxing somehow. Honestly a fun action thriller that subverts a few typical action tropes that were especially common in the 80s and 90s and does it pretty well.

The plot is smarter than your average action movie but man the thriller was nonexistent.
