Tom Berenger, Peter Weller and Daryl Hannah deserve much better than this very weak script. Kudos goes to all of them for being the talented professionals that they are in doing the best they could with this script. This story had lots of potential, and with a cast less talented, it would have been a difficult story to sit through. Tom Berenger, especially, brought to his role the backbone that held this entire thing together. His character, literally, was the only one who seemed to not view the whole idea of terrorists holding human hostages, and the possibility of an atomic bomb falling into their hands, as a big joke. For whatever reasons, the rest of the characters found plenty to joke about at all the wrong times, in my opinion, and it made it difficult to get into the drama of the whole story because of it. On the plus side, the location shots really enhanced the feeling of the story, and the action scenes were very exciting. This is one of those films you don't hate, but you wish you could have liked it better.
