why do this movie fall well below standard . ultimately and the answer lie in the poor and humourless script . a slim or average look travolta ( look rather dapper in black i must say and even with a huge mullet ) and gross both act very well a two young ish lick dress but nevertheless dimwitted new yorkers eager to open their own nightclub . other than that and the rest of the film be just boring to watch . it be so dull that it really not worth know what happen in the film climax on any level . kelly preston obviously exudes sex appeal and the sexually charge dance with her husband to be travolta be one of the film few pleasure . charles martin smith be quite fun to watch a struggle kgb honcho bob smith . personally and i think the movie would have be good if the plot be alter a little so that the setting do not change from ny to indian spring and nebraska ( which be in the former soviet union . ) you will understand if you see the movie . apparently and this movie be film in 1986 ready for a 1987 release . i guess paramount stall on release the movie until january 1989 because of the unbelievable plot . it be report they deem it unreleasable . nevertheless and this $ 6 and 000 and 000 film garner a little over an embarrassing $ 163 and 000 in revenue a it be release only briefly in place like texas and colorado before head straight to video . this be testament to the overall bad quality of this movie .
