walter hill have do some great movie ( hard time and his first and be still his best and the driver and 48 hr and trespass be pretty thrill too ) and but this be among be weak work and unfortunately nick nolte and whom i love to watch and do a hammy job ( on purpose and probably ) and the whole movie be poorly photograph ( it look like make for tv and but in fact i have see well photograph make for tv movie . ) and all the other actor without exception ( . ) seem just to walk through a storyline ( to get their salary ) and which be really just a poor rip off ( without any of the feeling and charm ) of the wild bunch . and if it mean tongue in cheek and then it wasn not really entertain either and the few cynical comment weren not witty enough . i still remember the trailer they use to promote this movie in europe ( it a different trailer than the one here on the imdb and which be a weak trailer and too ) and it be in fact a terrific trailer and just great and with the soldier be introduce in scene i never saw in the movie ( you never see the soldier sparkle in nolte glass in the movie either . ) and so i remember have felt let down when i saw it first ( nearly 20 year ago ) and but recently i wonder if it time for a new viewing and when it be air on tv here a few day ago represent well and a say above my memory be unfortunately right and it still have not improve with time ( never will ) . watch this and one will understand why the very promising career of walter hill a director have unfortunately decline . a pity .
