Fun Action Movie, 19 April 2002
6/10
Author: XCoRyX from Philadelphia, PA, USA

Its your basic action b-movie,sure thats definetly true.But for some reason,movies like platos run with the same old used and abused storylines just seem to keep on entertaining me.I knew it would be a bit cheesy but with roy scheider,gary busey and jeff speakman in the movie,it couldnt be as bad as the bashers were saying it was.The movie was fine,the acting was WAY above average for the b-movie credit it got.I wasnt disappointed at all besides the fact that jeff speakmans role wasnt too big.I think he and steven bauer should have switched roles....speakman is a way bigger name and would be used better over bauer.Why not let him be the 2nd man?Or better yet,let him have gary buseys role?Well for all the gary busey haters,busey didnt disappoint me.I liked his role as well as everyone elses.Bottom line,pick it up for a night of enjoyment only if your bored on a rainy day.6/10
