Little Gem worth Watching

Enjoyable movie by today's standards. It used some technology that was exploited one year later in another movie called "Enemy of the State". More than one subplot came together nicely at the end. Contains mystery and suspense interspersed with action. Not being overly critical, I found only one sentence that I would have changed with different words. A seldom seen movie, this little gem has a few surprises that can keep one's interest to the finale.

Don't Miss This One

This movie is not one of those Huge titles but it is a huge movie. Edge of the seat excitement that just keeps going. Hard to get a breath during this film. Special effects are pretty good with characters you'll love to hate. The best part is it keeps twisting and turning right to the end as a matter of fact it screams sequel just to finish it off but it probably didn't make enough people care WOW I Loved it!!!

Great action-adventure movie

This is a fine romp of a movie, full of interesting plot twists and developments, and not too heavy on mindless violence. The politics of the story are a timely warning against the military industrial complex that would destroy democracy for its own greed. The true hero is the one who abides by human values rather than accepting the blind authoritarianism so common in right-wing zealotry. Jon Voight superbly skewers this insanity masquerading as patriotism in his performance. Jill Hennessy provides adept detective work in uncovering the conspirators heinous plot. A very enjoyable adventure.

Worth a watch... every decade...

A movie that cannot be further away from reality. Meaningless dialogues and an absolutely illogical sequence. A Classic Hollywood Lone-Ranger-tricked action movie. Still fun to pastime and good for some laughs. Watchable every 10 years.

Pluses of an actor-writer

I think I've finally seen all of this movie, which one channel seems to run every week.

It's fairly ridiculous. Jon Voight has an absurd accent to which he is fully committed. Jill Hennessey plays most of her part in what appears to be a summer pajama top (and wonderfully perfect makeup). The military has whatever resources they need to advance the plot, but never enough to crush the hero. The twists are visible from miles ahead. But it remains entertaining.

I think that it is an advantage to the watchability that the hero (Keenan Ivory Wayans) is also the writer. Banter comes out more believable when the writer has to put it in his own mouth.

Trivia
This was the third consecutive action film which Keenen Ivory Wayans had starred in. The others include A Low Down Dirty Shame (1994) and L'ombre blanche (1996) co-starring Steven Seagal.

Goofs
The plan for Gunnery Sergeant Dunn (Keenen Ivory Wayans) to fire a bullet made of ice is pure Hollywood. If you could manage to mount a bullet made of ice in a shell casing & chamber it in a rifle, when you fired it, the shock & heat generated from the gunpowder in the shell casing would destroy the ice bullet before it even got to the end of the barrel. The Mythbusters TV show actually tried it & the ice bullet just vaporized.

Quotes
Sergeant James Dunn: You live alone?
Dr. Victoria Constantini: No, I, I have a boyfriend. He's a cop!
Sergeant James Dunn: You don't have a boyfriend.
Dr. Victoria Constantini: How do you know?
Sergeant James Dunn: There's five empty buckets of Häagen-Dazs in your trash, your legs are stubbly and your hair color needs a touch-up.
