It's a nice performance from Harrelson, whose sneaky grin, suggesting more than his usual self-satisfied zaniness, becomes a cover for despair. As Charlie slowly heads toward desperation, the film tosses in a handful of action scenes that are so well-crafted it doesn't mat ter that they have nothing to do with the story. In one, Snipes battles it out on the tracks with a pyromaniac. You know, family entertainment. It's an armored subway car with armed guards that travels to the various token booths collecting the fares for the entire city, millions of dollars.
Snipes takes a motorcycle and rides it straight down a series of escalators.
