Intriguing! Great spy type thriller!, 25 November 2001
7/10
Author: sdelawski-1 from Saskatchewan, Canada

I really enjoyed this movie. Stallone, Banderas, and Moore are excellent. The story keeps you interested, and on the edge of your seat. It is a great film for those who enjoy spy type thrillers. It was directed by Richard Donner (Lethal Weapon movies) and written by the Wachowski Brothers (The Matrix). 8/10
