** out of ****

Rating: 5/10 (24 April 2001)

I was expecting a lot from this movie, and got what seemed like an epic undeserving of epic status. The movie felt horrifically long and extremely boring as hell. The characters are annoying and completely unrealistic, the movie lacks any surprise or logic, and my interest was lost almost a quarter into the movie.
For one, I wanted the crashes the trailer showcases, but you have to sit and wait almost half-way into this character piece in order to see any, and when they happen, they seem phony thanks to these Playstation 2 graphics they call special effects. Only one crash made my draw drop, but it comes near the end, way too long to wait.
I like Renny Harlin and I like Sylvester Stallone, so I'm not entirely sure what went wrong, but the only thing I wanted to learn from this movie is how to edit so I can chop off 40 minutes. Not to mention that the ending was too happy, where everybody got along and were happy. Way too sappy for a "hard-core" movie like this.
