Format:DVD
San Franciscan Police Officer, Frank Connor, has to go to desperate measures to find a suitable bone marrow donor for his critically ill son. The perfect match is a homicidal socio-path serving a life sentence who escapes from prison while being transferred to hospital. The race is on to recapture him and he has to be alive.
what can I say?
Michael Keaton and are perfectly matched in this generally absorbing action thriller; you can sense right away that they had great chemistry working together, and they manage to create two characters more three-dimensional than the ones typically found in the genre.
this film get top Marks For Suspense,
it's everything an action movie should be.
top explosions,
top chases,
top acting ...
it also have five hundred cops against one master criminal and he's winning...
and Michael Keaton is superb as the master criminal.
and with Andy Garcia as his foe .
they are brilliant duet turning this film into a big duel ....

Good all round movie 18 Nov 2010
By Dave
Format:DVD
Keaton is very good when playing villains rather than heroes, and although slightly formulaic, this fairly reasonable all round movie is made good by his performance. Unbelievable plot, however that's "suspension of disbelief" for you!

The first one I ordered had no disk inside, even though it was shrink wrapped! However Amazon replaced it very quickly, no quibbles.
