This has to rate as one of the worst films of all time. Not even the great Sean Connery can save it.
This rambling mess tries to combine some bizarre smuggling gang, a murder, old soldiers, a cop with a chip on his shoulder, and an angry, oversexed woman.
The lines are all leaden with clichés, the forced animosity between Mark Harmon and Sean Connery as cop and soldier is just that, forced. The "animal attraction" between Meg Ryan (yes, her eyes are beautiful and so is her hair) and Mark Harmon is totally fabricated, and there is not one minute of this mess that is remotely believable.
Every five minutes the "movie" is going off in a different direction, and you're like, "Huh? What? Why? Where? Who?" On top of the plot less plot, most of the scenes are shot from a distance without any sense of drama, intrigue, nothing. There was an explosion at some point in the film that got a rise out of me, but that was about 75 minutes into it.
Do not waste 90 minutes of your life watching this unintended joke fest unless you enjoy laughing at bad movies (because that's the only enjoyment you'll get out of this).
Anyway, this was a sad excuse for a movie.
