Don't rent it if you're expecting the usual Tommy Lee Jones fayre, don't rent it if you're hoping for a 'thriller', don't rent it if you're expecting 'Knight Rider', just, don't rent it!

With actors like Tommy Lee Jones and Robert Vaughn you would think that this should be a good film. Wrong!!!!
I wish to put forward Robert Vaughn for the William Shatner award for wooden acting. Tommy Lee Jones' performance is not much better.
