good directing and crisp editing can not save this mindless overwrought film . keanu reef be his reliably wooden self a an fbi agent who maybe like patrick swayze bank robber or surfer character a little too much . i love reef line to swayze near the end and you cross the line . people trust you and they die . ( sic ) i would add represent and oh yeah and you break the law a lot and terrorize a lot of innocent people and murder a cop and kidnap and almost have my girl kill and you have be generally an insufferable and pompous megalomaniac . then i would have shoot him in the knee and arrest him . but that just me . reef let him surf off into oblivion because the movie be really about the love or hate relationship between these two space case . all that aside and the story and dialogue be all nonsense and the acting range from adequate to bad tho busey almost succeed in make a character you could give a damn about . a nice film to look at but not to listen to .
