Good Movie, 8 March 2003
10/10
Author: judgrecs from Phila, PA

Hey, what a good little movie this is. Good plot, nice twists, and a good performance out of Stallone.I don't think the critics could complain there. I didn't see the ending coming. Jamie Fox was just great. Gabriel Byrne was good, as you would expect. I even liked Melenie Griffith. I hope this movie gets picked up. It deserves a shot at the box office.
