This is a really awful film. Out of the 4 of us only one stuck with it to the end and he was the only one drinking alcohol!! The rest of us yawned, some read magazines and one got up and washed the dishes. How bad can that be???????? The film is basically 90% car skids filmed in the dark. The characterizations are shallow so no one cared what happened other than wishing the film to END. Nicolas Cage was totally unbelievable in this role. Eddie Murphy or Will Smith might have redeemed it with a touch of humour sadly lacking.
