    Oh yeah... Always really loved this movie! Forget the 3 other haters here... : ) This is a great, really fun Thriller with a very Cool Jeff Fahey...

    Just a great film. I've had this one since the VHS days and I'm sure I have it on DVD and also an HD WebRip of it somewhere.

    It is a ton of fun, I don't get these other Hosers P*$$ing all over it, it honestly is a very entertaining Thriller which totally capitalizes on the meaning of its title. Rae Dawn Chong is her lovely self, and I can' possibly praise Jeff Fahey enough. I don't know why that guy didn't hit it a LOT bigger than he did. His role in the very unfairly maligned 'THE LAWNMOWER MAN' (Director's version of course) proves that he can actually act and was a powerhouse performance. Here, he is like THE slickest MOFO Killer you ever saw.

    So, if you like 1990's Thrillers (I do!) and you like a really fun and involving suspenseful ride, you will totally enjoy this one.
