Arn’s review published on Letterboxd:
The second recent disappointment from Clint Eastwood's back catalogue. This one is woefully paced, badly miscast and contains at least one entirely superfluous subplot with pointless characters. The only actor who comes out with reputation intact is James Woods. Everyone else is poor, especially Eastwood in his own film, playing a character whose traits are of a 35-40 year old. Clint looks 30 years too old.
The other major issue is with the pacing where Clint spends a day finding information on the execution of a prisoner. However he spends most of the day goofing around and at one point takes his daughter to the zoo. It's a scene that if you didn't already hate Eastwood's character, that'll do it. "Speed zoo" my ass. The whole family sub-plot is utterly redundant, as is Eastwood's feud with editor Dennis Leary. The focus should surely be on the main story, which would have been fine by itself. As if Eastwood felt he'd spent too long mucking about the film ends with a goddamn car chase.
One of Eastwood's worst films.
