I am usually a sucker for good thrillers, but I seem to be one of few that has found this film to be at best mediocre, especially considering the presence of Kevin Costner and (especially) Gene Hackman.
The plot is so ridiculous (to put it mildly) that I find myself unable to accept it and therefore enjoy the movie as such. There are too many flaws, to many unanswered questions, too many inconsistencies... The premise in itself would have been acceptable, but everything else seems to have been inserted without any thought, without any prior research, even without common sense in my opinion. The resulting situations are sometimes even funny, bordering on the grotesque, which definitely cannot be considered as a plus for a thriller which appears to take itself seriously. And then there is the ending... (no comment)
All in all, a below average movie.
