Don't get me wrong - it has it's flaws - but you can't help but appreciate the look and style of it. From the glorious widescreen 35mm photography, to the slow motion shootouts and use of practical effects. It's one of the last great examples in the american action film catalog before cgi and digital technology came in and changed the look and feel of the medium. And not to mention Shane Black's special brand of dialog
"I'll shoot my dick off!"
"What are you a sharpshooter now?"
this one's up there with Die Hard for best Xmas vacation movies. -

There is great chemistry between Geena and Samuel Jackson in this movie and that certainly helps to push it along. You already know that I sometimes have very strange taste in movies and enjoy fast rubbish, so I hope you like it as much as I do, when you get round to watching it.

Yeah it’s great. Renny Harlin’s last great film too.
I wish he’d make another action movie. Cliffhanger, Die Hard 2 and this all did well, Hollywood should be throwing money at him to make more action classics, but instead he’s relegated to making terrible low budget horror films
