A great flick, except..

Rating: Null/10 (17 April 2000)

It's got to be one of the worst endings I've ever seen! Don't necessarily take my word for it because I'm in the minority amongst my friends on this. It's a very intense movie, with terrific action sequences. It makes for yet another great Michael Douglas movie that will likely play on basic cable for years like Fatal Attraction and Wall Street have. I just would have written a different ending. I can't believe so many people actually enjoy that part of it. To me, it's an awesome flick that is best if turned off just before the end "surprise" is revealed. It's a hell of a surprise but consider yourself warned. Up to the point where this "surprise" is revealed, I'm on the edge of my seat, rooting for our man Douglas to beat the enemy and prevail as the hero. At the end I'm left saying "oh, okay.. well, thanks for nothing, consider me tricked, ya got me, what else is on tonight?" Best to catch it for free on cable.
