Viewing Notes

Eh, an ok but not great film, pretty typical of late eighties, early nineties Hollywood output. The chase scene at the beginning of the movie is pretty decent, and of course there’s Meg Ryan. I remember this being kind of a bad girl movie for her; perhaps the first time she played a more sexual role.

Revisited for my Peter Hyams project.
