Shoot. Blast. Rewind. Repeat.
Man, some of the car chase sequences in this film are bone-crunchingly realistic. And there's a fairly brutal sequence of events with an assassin who takes out a bunch of Secret Service guys. And that's about as much compliment as I can dole out to this somewhat laughable thriller/action/Lost-wanna be. The acting by the cast is top notch, but they're working with a script that, when all is said and done, ends up being incredibly pedestrian and gimmicky. I've noticed lately that Dennis Quaid films offer a nice distraction from your day, but leave no real deep impression (unlike, say, American Beauty or No Country For Old Men). In that regard, this film will fit nicely into his repertoire of films such as Frequency or In Good Company. Definitely a rental.
