    Good old Pop Corn Stuff

    If you want intelligence it is not here! If you want good old put your feet up feed me some action and a few thrills this is the one for you. In my opinion one of JVs first iconic bad man performances, which gets even better in 'Swordfish'. CS gives a reasonable performance and Mathis provides some nice eye candy.... I liked the pace of this thriller and it provides a few twists and turns along the way.
