Weird combination of quality and mediocrity in an action movie
1 May 2006
Warning: Spoilers
The quality of this movie consists of some over-the-top performances by some of Hollywood's most underrated actors. In particular:

1.Gary Busey and his becoming a man monologue 2.John C.McGinley's whole manic-depressive performance 3.F.Murray Abraham, especially his freaking out/falling down "I wanna kill him with my bear hands " in the end 4.Rutger Hauer whole performance as a cynical bastard

Screenplay is OK for an action movie and the limited character development typical for this type of film works like a charm because of the actors.

Mediocre is the screenplay (I don't mind some absurd action sequences, but (for ex.)chopping a tree with a shotgun was a little too much, and Ice-t's character was simply too clever and cool).

In any case, this movie is worth watching because of the actors. It is amazing what good solid performances can do to an otherwise mediocre movie.
