        A predictable thriller romance type story, the actors are okay, and overall the movie is okay, not good or bad, just okay.

        A Ridley Scott 'director for hire' film, but I enjoyed it.

        Great thriller by Ridley Scott. My ever favorite actor Tom Berenger stars with Mimi Rogers in this classic thriller of a newly promoted Detective that is hired to protect a rich and beautiful witness due to her witnessing a murder. Keeps you on the edge of your seat and guessing what's going to happen next. A good one.
