Featured review
I like Sean Young. She was hot, hot, hot in No Way Out, but totally wasted in this movie. Tommy Lee Jones is also one of my favorites, but. again he was wasted here. There just wasn't much for him to do in this formulaic movie about a cocky pilot (Nickolas Cage) who had to come down a peg, and then saves the day. Wow! where have we seen that before? If you are going to have Apache helicopter action in support of an attack on the drug cartels, then lets see some more action that just Cage and the bad guy. Ho hum, we know how that is going to end.
I did see a couple of regular supporters in this flick that I like, but, all-in-all, it was just filler until something better came on.
