Writer Shane Black mines his thriller premise while musing on issues of identity and redemption; he also shaped the itchy camaraderie of Davis and Jackson.
Geena Davis and her director and husband, Renny Harlin, recover from their "Cutthroat Island" fiasco in grand style, and screenwriter Shane Black ("The Last Boy Scout") juggles jolts and jokes with a mad fervor that almost earns him his $4 million salary.

This is the kind of movie in which a dozen bad guys with an automatic weapon in each hand couldn't hit a lake if they were standing at the bottom of it, to steal the screenplay's best wiseacre remark.
One of the most blithely, giddily ridiculous movies to come along in ages.
Unfortunately, the filmmaking couple take the fetishistic masquerade far too seriously. They may describe it as a "departure" from traditional fare, but it's simply the same old action-packed guff.
A "nonstop thriller" that is also a nonstop dud. Underline the word "long" in the title.
If you haven't lived until you've heard Geena Davis say "Suck my dick," New Line probably deserves your money.
This film shows its age a little bit (films are so over the top polished nowadays) but really can serve as an comparison to how things are now in 2022.. specifically how US intelligence agencies are portrayed. Snake eating its own tail .. my only pet peeve is how children are used in movies,(yet again).. used in the most causticly over sweetened fashion that makes you want to vomit for how saccarin they are used and portrayed.. the child actor had waaay too many speaking parts barf barf barf..
