Viewing Notes
Filling a hole in my list of movies watched by John Frankenheimer (whose movie Ronin is one of my all-time favorites), I streamed this via Neflix.
Not Frankenheimer’s best, but it’s entertaining in a goofy, over-the-top way. Kind of sub-par acting from all involved, including Gary Sinise, who hams up his villainous character a bit too much.
The exception is Charlize Theron who easily has the best role here an exhibits great range with her character. She’s also damn sexy in both of the nude scenes she does.
