A straight-to-video knock-off of Con Air and Under Seige 2, which doesn't have the budget or ideas to pull off anything beyond what you might see on daytime TV.
It's packed full of character actors who aren't given much to do but do keep things rolling along sufficiently.
Roy Scheider seems to be enjoying the chance to play a nasty bad guy but unfortunately gets lost in the crowd as the movie progresses. Dorian Harewood is not your stereotypical action lead, but he actually suits the character's reluctant participation well. Clint Howard is his usual creepy weird self and plays a pointless yet entertaining character. Don Swayze does his thing and is underused, and it's sad to see Keith Coogan reduced to such a minor side role.
This movie is fine if you set your expectations low and still have a thirst for such outings beyond what it models itself on.
