Does Stewart emerge unsullied? Very nearly. I give him credit for that. Right up until almost the very end of the film, he retains a certain poise and dignity.

One of the silliest hostage thrillers you're ever likely to see Patrick Stewart vamp his way through.

Saw it in theaters when it released. I don't remember why, outside of the fact this movie sucked thay bad. Teenage me walked out of the theater. Nothing, not drugs or alcohol, could make me stay. I'd rather be sober and walk home in the cold with no coat. F this movie.

I saw this at 14 and had a lot of fun watching it. Would not call it a fantastic movie, but entertaining and 1 extra star for Patrick Stewart

Without giving to much thought into it, it's an entertaining flick for your typically rainy weekend.

I watched this movie until the tape broke. I remember loving this as a teen I need to watch it again.
