This film was great.The plot was preposterous.The action sequences contrived.But, provided you can lighten up enough to laugh, it was a throughly thrilling romp combining Keystone Cops and the Lone Ranger.The baddies were more silly than bad. The good guys weren't too good. The black actors played normal characters rather than black stereotypes.The inclusion of a baby added a good touch. Sympathy might have been a little difficult otherwise. I have to disagree about the acting. It was, on the whole, very good. I really wanted to punch Judge Reinhold.And, after all, isn't that the mark of a really good movie, wanting to punch Judge Reinhold?
This movie started off slow and ended lame. Sure it was fun but only for a little while I would say.I was not overly impressed with this film in that it just piled on the cliches from the mechanic who fobbed off the woman at the start to the dialog which seemed to vary from being sincere, and earnest to a pale mockery of itself.The only character that got any sympathy from me was the poor baby who they got out of the car with the helicopter, and why in the hell didn't they pull the child up into the helicopter? 5/10 for trying..
What a movie. From the stereotyped characters to the baby the helicopter and the bridge, this movie is cliche ridden in the extreme. Yet it is compelling because of that. And it has Judge Rienhold in it. This is a must see with a few cans, a few mates, and money riding on what is going to happen next. The only thing I want to know is who did the M.O.T on that car
I have to admit that by moments I had to laugh at how bad that movie was... But the laughs were too few and since this whole thing was in no way a parody, it felt more like an insult to the viewer's intelligence. The worst acting I have ever seen from any of these people...
