Trivia:

The film was intended to be released in November 1999 or May 2000 by Universal Pictures and producer Brian Grazer, then it was delayed for several more years in the US. Universal tired of the film, sold its distribution rights to DEJ in the USA and finally was released theatrically three years after its completion.

Quotes:

FBI Agent Jake Malloy: I don't get it. Why do you put yourself through this?
McKenzie: You got family, Malloy?
FBI Agent Jake Malloy: No, I don't.
McKenzie: Neither do I, anymore. The job is all I've got.
[pause]
McKenzie: I'm not a coward, you know.
FBI Agent Jake Malloy: I know that. But you've got to remind yourself now and then.
McKenzie: That goes both ways.

An underrated gem!

I saw the movie and i have to be honest, i was amazed by it.I mean, this movie wasn't released in theaters in North America so my expectations weren't that high, but i was really happy that i saw it because it was a terrific action-thriller. Sly is great as usual, all the other actors are doing a fantastic job on this picture. The story is very good, even though there's a lot of violence at the beginning and at the very end, but it fits with the kind of movie and with the situation the characters are in. Of course if you don't like that kind of movie don't bother seeing it, but if you're a fan of Stallone or you like suspense thrillers, this one's for you. It's not a classic but it's a movie that'll entertain you for 95 minutes.

I really liked it!
