Badly paced film does sustain your interest., 13 October 1999
5/10
Author: gridoon

Few would argue that this is a badly paced film. The fact that it feels much longer than it is proves just that. But it sustains one's interest due to its dense plot, filled with intrigues and mysterious supporting characters. Reynolds is much more convincing in his role than his female co-star, although his screen time is strangely limited.
