I see lots of reviews criticising the acting and the plot and I wonder what people were expecting from q film starring William Baldwin and Cindy Crawford? It's a thriller, an hour and a half of action and entertainment, nothing more. It isn't meant to be highbrow or get nominated for an Oscar. For what it is it works well enough and is enjoyable, so why be so picky and pretend you were expecting something spectacular. William Baldwin gives a standard action performance, Cindy Crawford is perfectly acceptable and Steven Berkoff is relatively restrained. As for the plot, it is simple and easy to follow and so what if it isn't the massively intricate and complex affair that some might prefer? So it was a little predictable and William Baldwin's heroics a little unrealistic - so what? The only question to be asked about movies of this kind is, "was it enjoyable.?" As far as I am concerned, yes it was - and that's all that matters.
