Wasted potential of a good star cast. All too routine mainstream hollywood thriller. There is no chemistry between Virginia Madsen and Harrison ford. In my opinion Paul Bettany is one of the most overrated actors of its time. I never liked him that much except for his role in A Knight's Tale. There he
was excellent. As an acion thriller its definitly not enough action. At the end a little bit but nothing special. Why are so great actors like Robert Foster and Alan Arkin in such short and meaningless suporting roles???It's just a pity.

Specially on Vhs in the uncut version…
