Viewing Notes
This movie kind of sums up Hyams’ career for me: almost but not quite. His stories are good, cinematography is typically well done, but the final product just doesn’t ever reach its full potential.
I did like the twists in the story here, but it was short-circuited by the odd, almost comical, car chase scenes.
