Connery is as steady as always....great twists
April 12, 2002
Despite its merits, the script fails to escape the silly season that fouls up so many thrillers, that time when the twists merely seem like the narrative equivalents of those violin shrieks on a cheesy score.

There is no psychological depth, no real motivation, no human values to weigh, just characters jerked here and there like puppets in an arbitrary plot.

Forgettable and less than thrilling.

...it's certainly impossible not to get a kick out of any film in which Sean Connery delivers the following line: "If that's a confession then my ass is a banjo!"

In Connery it has a hero who is inescapably appealing.

It doesn't bog down in the bogs, but it's slow-moving just about everyplace else.

Good crime flick with strength in casting of Sean Connery.
January 01, 2000
A sorry excuse for a thriller, with both narrative and character handled with remarkable ineptitude.

The longer you stay with it, the more routine and uninspired it seems -- not to mention cowardly.
July 25, 2002
Ridiculous from start to finish. Connery, Harris, and Fishburne couldn't have wasted their time in a less productive fashion.
January 01, 2000
It's brutal, horribly manipulative, and we've seen this stuff before in better pictures.
