This is a kind of movie that works only because of the chemistry between the two stars, 16 February 1999
6/10
Author: JAGUAR-5 from United States

This movie is worth watching because it's easy to see how much fun John and Olivia are having working together. Plus there's Oliver Reed and some simple fun special affects; although the general plot-line is a very overused one.
