back when alec baldwin and kim basinger be a mercurial and hot temper and high power hollywood couple they film this ( nearly ) scene for scene remake of the 1972 steve mcqueen ali macgraw action thriller about a fugitive twosome . it almost work the first time because mcqueen be such a vital presence on the screen even stone silent and weary and you could sense his clock ticking and his cagey magnetism . baldwin be not in steve mcqueen league and but he have his charm and be probably a more versatile actor if so and this be not a showcase for his attribute . basinger do well and certainly look good and but james wood be artificially hammy in a silly mob magnet role . a sub plot involve another couple take hostage by baldwin ex partner be unbearable in the 72 film and play even bad here . a for the action scene and theyre pretty old hat and which cause one to wonder represent why even remake the original . from .
