      Jake Mellows: And ypu, you cow, you hired people to make it look real... make me look like a prat!

      Lela Forin: That wasn't so hard to do?

      Jake Mellows: I want my money!

      Lela Forin: You gambled most of it away. They kept you in debt so you couldn't walk away.

      Jake Mellows: They still owe me half a million!

      Lela Forin: They never intended to pay you.

      Jake Mellows: Yeah, well, they forget who I am!

      Lela Forin: They know exactly who you are, Jake, a washed-up, desparate action man who doesn't know he's past his prime.

      Jake Mellows: Me! Past my prime! No actor is ever past his prime. Look, look at Jessica Tandy in "Driving Miss Daisy!"

    It's okay

    Started off great, nice chase scenes, Michael Keaton trying to piece eveything together, after being framed of murder. The Lela character wasn't very likable, and she made the movie drag a bit towards the middle. Then Keaton and Caine cross paths and movie picks up again. I liked their banter and Caine adds good humor. It's an okay movie, but I wouldn't watch again
