I've always loved watching this film-I remember seeing it in the theaters back in 93 and just being hooked.
I consider it to be a decent mystery thriller-everything to do with the river and the boats are essential to this story but it can come off as a silly choice.
The film does have an incredible car chase in the beginning-it has a decent boat chase at the climax.
I love all the interaction between the characters-I'm not saying these are great characters or even great performances but I love the dialogue between them.
One thing I noticed that didn't make sense-If Farina's character is Willis' Uncle then why do they have different last names? I thought for a second…

Its the first time since months that I broke my own rule 'Always watch a movie till the end'. But in this case I stopped after 45 min and I couldn't watch it any further minute... The basic of the story is okay but the movie is predictable and stereotyped.

Die ersten 75 Minuten sind echt gut. Die Auflösung und das Finale dann eher durchschnitt. Solider Thriller mit einigen Actioneinlagen.

So bad it's kind of good. Very similar in plot and setting to "Twisted"; cool seeing a young Jessica Parker.
Also, who knew that a simple flare could cause a car to explode?

One of Bruce's better efforts.

Other than the very well staged car chase at the beginning and a few decent PBGH locations, this is a Shite action film. Rowdey Herrington fell off the map after this, and it's too bad-cause 'Jack's Back' was pretty good. Swedish porno Director Mac Ahlberg shot this movie, with his eyes closed obviously, cause even Homegirl looks pasty. I couldn't take my eyes off of Willis' total shit hairpieces. Yuck
