This is one of those movies that "isn't good, but it's great". Pure mid-'90s schlock that sometimes looks like it was straight to video. It just couldn't have cost that much to film. Imagine a movie done by a not-very-good Michael Bay fan, and you'll have this movie. And I love it.
On my movie scale, 5 is the worst sin a movie can commit because it's boring. 10s belong to Jaws and truly great films, 1s and 2s are so bad that they're good again, like Sharknado. This movie would probably be a 2 on my scale.
This flick is pure nonsense, hasn't aged well, and is peak '90s. The other reviews here are right, Will Patton turns in a fantastic performance in this wonderfully dumb, slo-mo for bloody squib explosions, brainless action movie.
At one point a character successfully takes cover from gunfire behind flimsy concession stand poster board.
Characters read an IM chat exchange out loud to each other even though it's shown on screen, presumably because they thought the audience would be too stupid to read.
At one point, Stephen Baldwin talks about a motorcycle's impressive specs and finishes by saying "Best of all, it has an on-board computer." What?!?! LOL! There's no explanation of why it's good or anything! It's just really dumb dialog from back in the days when computers were magic. It's hysterical.
This is the movie you tried to make with Dad's camcorder when you were in junior high. It's like a beautiful idiot you can't help but love. It's terrible and glorious all at the same time. Bon apetit.
