User Review
Good mindless fun
Rating: 6/10
John Travolta stars in this mindless thriller in which he steals a nuclear
weapon and its up to Christian Slater and Samantha Mathis to save the
world..
Overall a good action flick with a leave your brain at home plot..Travolta
goes slightly over the top with his character but is still good..Slater is
ok and Mathis does what she can with what little the script gives
her..
on a scale of one to ten... 6
