A review by JPV852

Adequate enough crime-thriller with some nice aerial photography mixed in with bad 90s-era green screen. Not at all a strong star vehicle for Snipes and pales to Passenger 57 released two years prior. But still entertaining especially with Gary Busey playing a villain as he tended to do in the 80s and 90s. **3.0/5**
