okay and so i have see a lot of rat r movie before this and well before i turn 18. but i remember see the preview on tv and but not be able to see it in theater because i be too young and so when it come out on video and i would ride my bike down to the video store to rent it countless time a month . surprisingly and the folk like it too and do not mind me watch it over and over . at first i think it be over the top and but i really like the soundtrack ( by han zimmer and one of my favorite composer ) and and a i watch it more for the soundtrack and the over all experience of the movie grow on me . the theme for travolta character just make him the badass his character need to be . slater unlikely role a the scrawny hero work out for the betterment of the film and his character . long only good film appearance a the muscular right hand man fit him to the t. john woo affinity for action movie be exemplify in this film . mathis role a the female element be believable ( she do not come off a a dit and one could see her have a park ranger because her proportion weren not medically exaggerate ) . the shootout in the mine and the humvee chase and the helicopter pursuit of slater and mathis and the opening scene with a fight in the cockpit of the stealth bomber and and the climatic train sequence make this a cool movie . so what if it wasn not oscar material and not every movie be and and the one that aren not be the most entertaining . i now attribute this movie a my start into movie loving and become a connoisseur .
