| eFilmCritic.comGreg MuskewitzA humid and sweaty potboiler that fritters away the potential to be hot and steamy. |
| User ReviewShaun BOne of the best American movies ever, not a typical Hollywood one, but beat a crap of any action or thriller. |
| User ReviewClay BThis film is a master piece !! Well written , great casts and a perfect plot, from the moment the plane goes down it's non stop action on the edge of your arm chair stuff! And not to mention the sound track-by Gorege Fenton , they do not make films of this calibre any more , I even enjoyed the sequel to this film but I personally missed Alec Baldwin,s fantastic performance , he really through himself into this caractor , God only knows why it grossed only 5 million at the box office , anyway if you want to see a great movie , watch this nOw. |
| User ReviewAndy BMovie is good, book is better... but the book doesn't have a Teri Hatcher nude scene. That alone is worth the 7 bucks for the DVD. |
| User ReviewAnna BIt would be nice if you could combine the two movies, taking the good aspects from one (Tommy Lee Jones, the elegiac tone, etc. from the sequel, and the more coherent and compelling application of plot and world-building from this one) and ditch all the bad stuff. I feel like this movie's parts are less than those of its sequel, but the sum ends up being more in some way that I can't really explain. I'm kinda surprised at how poorly this is rated, I found it pretty entertaining. |
| User ReviewJeremy NSlow paced but totally enthralling murder mystery. |
| User ReviewDavid TThis movie was a surprise! I loved it. Eric Roberts was fantastic! |
| User ReviewJohn Cvery strong performances from alec baldwin as an ex cop down on his luck who quit his drinking problem a year ago and is finding returement a bit uncomfortable and lost his wife to some thugs who killed her one night and eric roberts as a mob boss who is old friends with alec badwin's charcater and a sexy perofrmance from terri hatcher. a good story and wonderfully executed. |
| User ReviewCory BOne of the great movies nobody saw. Maybe Alec Baldwins best roles! |
