Quotes:

[Lawton is wearing a bomb-coat]
Garrett Lawton: I don't know if you know what this is, but when I take my thumb off this, it will explode that. And if you knew how much work it took for me to create this, then you might know how excited I am at the possibility that I might be able to use it.

Nice & Warm

If you have any sense of humor, you will laugh out loud.

The only thing serious about this movie is the humor. Well worth the rental price. I'll bet you watch it twice. It's obvious that Sutherland enjoyed his role.
