Okay and thankfully a short movie
89 minutes of excitement
pretty good, short, simple, not to long, not to bloddy, decent
Predictable. Man I’m getting jaded with movies…
Or maybe I’m just being too picky with the portrayal of firearms use.
In any case the unlikely chain of events linking everybody together didn’t particularly thrill me. At least it was good seeing Kiefer Sutherland in a cameo role.
But what is up with the pizza. Did the cops actually think that a pizza guy can casually afford a fully decked out Accuracy International Arctic Warfare Magnum rifle on a delivery boy’s salary? Must get large tips. I’m in the wrong line of work…
Great how much suspense they can make with such a simple set
Simply marvelous. The BEST of the year. Relatively short so you can’t complain.
