JCVD is a cool character, no matter how good or bad his movies are. I like a good arse-kicking martial arts fighter any old day, since Lee and Norris. This film was enjoyable, period... especially knowing the entire length of it that the mocking, harassing, chain-smoking and condescending son- of-a-B was gonna get his butt kicked ("good luck with the 'mooter-cycle'"). But what stands out for me (and most heterosexual guys) was the lovemaking scene between RA and JCVD....it bordered on a soft-porn scene! Ms. Arquette's astonishing physique (or that of her body double) certainly didn't disappoint in any way. I've seen my share of P'nography and am not easily surprised but in this instance I was, knowing just how famous these two actors are. Aside from all that, it's refreshing to see a hero come out of an escaped convict, even though he's robbed of his freedom again in the end. Not a great movie, but not a bad one, either. I found this one more believable than, say, Desert Heat... another JCVD vs. The Bad Guys, from the same era.
