Synopsis

In this bungled hi-tech thriller, Jeff Bridges plays a bomb disposal expert with Tommy Lee Jones as his former colleague who wants Bridges blown away. To show us just why he does, the film takes us back to Northern Ireland (always a risky subject for Hollywood). This aspect of the movie is neither interesting nor particularly relevant to the main thrust, which aims to deliver a tense sequence every 15 minutes or so. Bridges and Jones can make nothing of the thinly written, not to say tasteless, material, and Lloyd Bridges and Forest Whitaker struggle in badly realised roles.
