Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Mirage4 I write very few reviews for this site. I write an arts/culture column for a bi-monthly periodical. The point is that I only write about things that elicit a strong personal reaction in me. Unfortunately, this film elicited a very negative personal reaction. Very bad script, production, direction, and acting. Hillary Swank was the only reason I rented this, she is actually not bad but I feel sorry for her to be in this obviously released direct-to-video piece of raw garbage. It is like a bad 80s flick so imagine my surprise to discover it was actually made in the mid- to late-90s.All of the characters were unrealistic, one-dimensional, and weakly developed. This was John Asher's debut as a director when his previous most memorable role was as Gary on the "Weird Science" TV series. He should not have strayed from in front of the camera. I wish someone would put warning labels on movies like this so that you do not waste your money or more importantly--your time.
marsnook2007 I watched this movie and was disappointed in the end when Vic was seen as a bad cop and Colleen went off in the sunset with the guy who really is not a good person in all.It should have been that Vic was undercover and he was the one who went off with the girl not the other way around.The ending was not what I expected in this movie especially with Rob Stewart and Hilary Swank.It could have been written better and the ending also should have been different.Rob Stewart has a fan following and I'm sure they were not happy with the role he picked.I know some of his future roles are much better hopefully he gets a lead part again in a TV series.
acearms Some what unbelievable. Several bad cops try to pin a counterfit operation on the one good cop who is killed early on. Then a brother, in a star wars disguise no less, kills his baby brother in a truncated chase scene; aw come on, give me a break. The dead good cop's sister tries to find her brother's real killer only to discover its her ex-lover who is a bad cop. So she cuddles up to and makes out with the guy who she first thought killed her brother, but who turns out to be a good guy and they live happily ever after on the $3 mil in real and counterfit money that every body was after in the beginning. If any of this makes sense, you are obviously retarded. Be glad you missed it.
avvd Hilary Swank's name on the box caught my attention at Blockbuster, and she is the main reason to view this one. It is a routine low-budget crime movie with various bad guys and cops chasing suitcases of real and counterfeit money, with Hilary as the wild card. And, gee, do you think one of the cops might be dirty? The screenplay is neither good nor bad, the characters are almost credible, and the sex/language/violence are mild for the genre. Hilary gets a lot more screen time than her billing suggests, and, yes, she can play a woman as well as a boy. She won't be ashamed of this one when she's famous.
