This is going to go down as one of the lesser films in the portfolios of Shelton, Ford, and most everyone else involved.

Harrison Ford ainda sabe fazer graça. Pena que o diretor Ron Shelton e o roteiro não saibam.

Harrison Ford and Josh Hartnett, are given enough character quirks to made this trip in cliché-ville more enjoyable than most.

The casting is such a mystery that you could be forgiven for thinking the whole process was done by small ads in an LA trade paper.
