== Reception ==
When the movie released on April 14, 1989 on premier day, it generally received both good and bad reviews from the public and by movie critics. The movie did poorly because of its lack of attention of being a both a crime/heist and comedy movie, but more focused on being a crime/heist film instead. The movie also did poorly on its opening week, only grossing $7 million worldwide out of its estimated $20 million dollar budget. 
In a 2003 interview featuring Lou Diamond Phillips "Ray Forgy", he stated: "As a film, I felt it was a bit disappointing, and I think it should have been funnier. Unfortunately, I think the script was funnier than the actual film came out to be, but I think we were all on a different page. I think the director wanted to make more of an action film or a heist film than he wanted to make a comedy, and Jim Kouf – he was also the writer – I think that he shied away from the comedy of it, which is unfortunate because if we had gone that way I think the film would have been more satisfying." Meaning that the director Jim Kouf switched things up at the last minute while filming the movie, which was one of the main causes for its bad reception.
