Movie Reviews

Reel Film Reviews - 8/10 by David Nusair...the film benefits substantially from Connery's typically magnetic performance and the sporadic inclusion of unexpectedly engrossing sequences...
Chicago Tribune - 5/10 by Dave KehrIt's a movie that doesn't have an original thought in its head, and seems to like it that way.
Miami Herald - 5/10 by Hal BoedekerAs usual, Hyams makes good use of the locations, and stages the stunt sequences with great skill, but his handling of the romance and father/daughter conflicts is at best uncertain, at worst embarrassing.
Tampa Bay Times - 4/10 by Hal LipperThe whole movie has the feeling of a clone, of a film assembled out of spare parts from other movies, out at the cinematic junkyard.
Fantastica Daily - 4/10 by Chuck O'LearyPeter Hyams' strong direction and Connery's commanding presence make this handsome-looking action-thriller worth seeing.
Los Angeles Times - 3/10 by Michael WilmingtonIt's an ultra-slick, ultra-flat movie that cuts like a cellophane knife. No edge, no blood.
The New York Times - 3/10 by Janet MaslinIt doesn't help that the mystery plot seems half-baked in the end, or that none of the actors appear entirely comfortable with their roles. Miss Ryan looks edgy and spends a lot of time tossing her hair. Mr. Harmon is easygoing and attractive, but his nice-guy manner belies his character's steely talk.
Washington Post - 3/10 by Desson ThomsonDoubling duties as director and cinematographer, Peter Hyams seems to have tossed the former for the latter. The Presidio, purported cop thriller, looks great. It is, in fact, less filling. The maker of "Outland" and "2010" infuses a San Francisco setting with evocative misty grays, but screenwriter Larry Ferguson's dull doings hang thicker than smog.
User Review - 10/10 by Anne Bloved it, they don't make movies like that any more
User Review - 10/10 by Margaret WMark Harmon and Sean Connery - who could ask for more?
