Rod Steiger is a hilarious Latino mob boss, dropping lines like "Ju think I'm going to..and Ju know whaddd?" James Woods here is at his over-acting best; screeching and hollering out his lines as he chases Sly's trail around Miami. And then there's Sly and Sharon Stone. She is as hot as he sounds dumb...like as in fresh from the Rocky film ring, post fight, drooling, monotone line reading, dumb. But, his character is an explosive expert who, as Stone points out, can "shape his charge" and, "direct" his "explosions". Hot hot hot. If Sharon Stone weighed in at about 200 lbs, this movie would be unwatchable, but it is Sharon Stone, and the rest of the cast seem to have fun doing what they're doing, I say it's a good diversion if you have absolutely nothing to do with your time.
