See more Eye C @ECinc Jul 28 A fine last work from Mr. Donner. A police thriller with amazing performances and good story. Richard Donner is gonna be missed. See more Shay W @RT24244689 Jun 7 It's a likeable good movie. More character than action driven. While there is little action, some of the scenes are quite tense. Reading some audience reviews, they didn't like Mos Def's voice, but not knowing how he actually talks, it didn't bother me and seemed to suit the character. David Morse is excellent and it's a nice restrained performance by Bruce Willis. See more Larry L @RT53584283 03/08/2025 This maybe one of Bruce's best unknown movies. See more Blu B @RT43513976 03/08/2025 Better than I thought it would be honestly. The action is pretty standard stuff but there are genuine moments of character development with Willis And Def and enough of a twist to the story that it elevated it signifcantly through the flaws. Particulary Mos Def....oh my god he's terrible and as bad as Jar Jar at times. This was back in a time when Producers were out of ideas for PG-13 and said hmm what do kids like these days? Rappers! Who cares if they can actually act lets put them in shark movies and Halloween and this! Willis is alright and sleepwalking through most of this. Morse is good and the best thing acting wise. Everyone else is super forgettable. The cinematography also is just alright. Besides the bus, none of the action, settings, or anything really stand out for that matter. Donner's sharp direction especially for action is missing here. It also has a dull color to everything too that doesn't help. Visually it's boring but you can follow it enough. The music is also very boring and forgettable. The editing though is suprisngly solid and the pacing ain't bad. The second half is stronger once Mos def kind of calms down and there's less of him and the script takes some somewhat suprising turns even with certain parts you see coming a mile away. In a sense the script is kind of sharp actually but there are some scenes that do linger a bit too long and the first half is a buddy comedy almost and changes to a thriller. Which does work in it's favor. I did appreciate the heartfelt moments though more than I thought it would and it cuts the nonsense. It never feels mindless also. It's so close to being good especially if Def was replaced. But anyone who is a fan of any actors in this or 00's buddy action thrillers may like this. See more Read all reviews
