It's very noisy. Mel is constantly out of breath because he's being shot at and has to run or climb or fall. Goldie squeals and shrieks because she has done something stupid, or sees something nasty about to happen. There are chases galore....on foot, by car, on a motorbike, in a plane, in a pickup. Bullets by the million fly through the air, but only a few hit Mel, making him grimace. Funny?? Don't make me laugh! If you're over 12 years old, this is not the film for you.

I didn't realize that there were so many feeble-minded people wandering around out there, and just fancy....they're all gathered together in one small town in Ohio (?). A series of unpleasant vignettes, the only point of which seems to be to make the viewer cringe in disgust. Thanks, but no second helpings for me.

A friend warned me about this film. "It's not very good" she said. What she should have said was "It's not very good, and it goes on for a long time, and Richard Gere can't change the expression on his face, and there are scenes where you say "doesn't that remind you of....?". There's not much point in discussing details, but some useful tips are revealed. (1) How do you escape from a high security prison hospital? Ans: You walk out with the visitors when they leave. (2) How do you steal/retrieve a heavy dumbbell being carried in a shopping bag by a villainess? Ans: You put her on a tram in San Francisco, with the bag dangling out, and you get in a tram going in the opposite direction, so that as the two trams pass, you just reach out and grab!! So simple. There are better ways of spending 2+ hours than watching this.
