Viewing Notes
Given this cast this should be way better than it is. It’s fine but feels like a missed opportunity to be special. On the plus side, Snipes is acting and committed and is p darn great. Hopper is doing his usual caricature kind of role. They def could’ve done more with Viggo’s character. Lots of cool on location filming in L.A. Fun to see Seymour Cassel again so soon after DEATH GAME last Friday.
