    If ever there was a movie equivalent to the one-night stand this is it - not necessarily something you'll remember next day but fast, furious and damn good fun while it lasts.

    The script is fueled by genuine wit, everyone turns in fine performances and, beginning to end, the film actually shows some thought, if little originality.

    Ultimately the script's often sharp social satire is drowned out by the noise and confusion.

    Yes, this film is worse than "Cliffhanger," Stallone's last venture into chaos.

    Great overall movie, Wesley Snipes was pretty funny to, great action, plot and storyline. The only problem i had with it was some of the acting, especially Sandra Bullocks performance was a little flat, but overall a must see film.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is perfectly good smash-em up sci-fi. Wesley Snipes is a crackerjack bad-guy, and you can put up with Stallone if you have a mind to. Sandra Bullock is fun as a future lady bored with the perfect life. And of course, the good guys win. Buy some popcorn, get out the beer and have a good time.… Expand

    Downright horrible movie with plotholes appearing literally every 5-10 minutes. The only few things good about this film is the action (especially the beginning and the final action scene) and Sylvestor Stallone as well as Wesley Snipes. These 2 actors are very good and definately deserve better than to be in this film. The jokes, by the way, range from decent to painful to sit through. (There was one joke that was even used like 3 or 4 times, just altered slightly. It wasn't even funny the first time.) Don't even bother thinking about seeing this film.… Expand
