    Director Harley Cokliss plays too safe, here sticking to a standard action-thriller format. Similarly, there are solid but not outstanding performances from the cast, with the exception of the ever-excellent Tommy Lee Jones, who for once comes off the sidelines as the hero. Linda Hamilton, who made her mark in the Terminator movies, and Robert Vaughn (The Man from UNCLE) provide able support, but even they are not at their best. Co-written (with Desmond Nakano and William Gray) by John Carpenter from his own story, it could have been so much better with him as director.

    Don't rent it

    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! DVD does not do this poor film any justice. It is only 18 years old, but the quality (particularly audio) is appalling. There is nothing inspiring about it.

    Don't Rent

    Should have looked at the reviews before renting. A film Tommy Lee Jones would want to forget during his acting career.
