Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Segal is asked via walkie talkie how his bomb disposal activities are proceeding, he checks the digital bomb display, then responds by saying "One minute and 42 seconds remaining". The camera then pans to the bomb display which clearly shows one minute 46 seconds remaining.

Unleash the bomb on this film

Unfortunatley this film has nothing to offer. lame performances from all the cast. whats with the accent from Dennis Hopper. one minute he's irish sounding the next he has an american accent.

the plot revolves around hopper, a madman bombing buildings all over the joint while sizemore is the 'cop on the edge'. Seagal is the bomb expert.

The fight scenes with Seagal are also disappointing, the camera constantly jerking with every strike made so you can't really tell whats going on. If you want to see better films with these three leads, try Heat, Speed, and any other seagal film besides this one.

2/5
