Nearly all the SF premises are accorded the status of Andrew Dice Clay one-liners -- which means that they, along with the characters, keep changing from one scene to the next. Full Review |

A great villain goes a long way toward making an action movie successful and Snipes certainly does more than his share to make this an enjoyable film. Full Review |
