This film tried hard, but it kept missing. The pacing of the film is way, way too fast. The twists and turns of the story are fired at you bullet-style and I just couldn't keep up. When the end finally arrived, I STILL didn't know what exactly had happened. There were critical scenes missing which would have tied it all together. Too many things didn't add up. Inconsistencies galore. And I don't know what the other reviewer meant by John Travolta being "slim and trim" here-- he looked fat and bloated to me, and showing his age. He always plays the young cocky guy in every one of his films, but in this one he is the washed-up, ex-cocky guy, which I guess is perfect since he can't keep up with the younger crowd now. Jackson plays the usual loud-mouth character, so there wasn't any real surprise there, either. All things considered, I recommend skipping it entirely. There are far better "thrillers" out there.
