Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Eastwood on automatic pilot but...
Clint Eastwood on automatic pilot is a lot better than some peoples best films, so make no mistake this may be the worst film ever that he directed himself but its still pretty good. In fact for me it would have been 3.5 stars.

Its really a Dirty Harry film under another name, and with a decent cast including the always watchable Charlie Sheen its an easy way to pass an hour and a half. There are a couple of laugh out loud moments, especially the seat belt gag.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - TOP EASTWOOD THRILLER
Without a doubt this is one of Eastwood's finest performances as both actor AND director. All those who expect a copy of the Dirty Harry films will be surprised - this one is quite different, and that in a positive manner!

Made with all the subtlety of a house brick this film is a full face on assault on the viewer from the very beginnings of the speeding chase between the cops and the hijacked car-transporter to the final shot out at the airport terminal.

The film uses all the most well worn tricks of the "buddy-buddy / old cop - rookie cop / poor down on his luck - rich privileged / rule breaking - rule following" action movies ever made and is at least honest enough not to try to pretend to be anything ... Read More

This is a really good film and it's about time it was released on DVD for the benefit of Region 2 viewers!
Come on Warner Bros. keep your UK Eastwood fans happy



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - The Rookie
What can I say? This is a good old classic action/drama copfilm that they dont make anymore. It is a joy to see Eastwood and Sheen togheter in a different kind of film. Eastwood does his old Dirty harry police and Sheen another at first unwillng hero. This movie is good, and it is a shame that it bombed when it hit the thearatesback in 1990. This is far better then the Lethal Weapon series and the latest Bondfilms. Buy it :)
