Another astoundingly decent film by Tony Scott. It's very watchable and pretty well-made. Some of it's ahead of its time and clever, but then other parts feel kind of stupid and excessive. I did really like how Will Smith's character was a bit more of a clumsy loser than usual - he was good here, along with Gene Hackman of course (once the latter finally showed up, almost 60 minutes into the movie).
It certainly gets the job done, and while I'm not over the moon about it (I feel that way about most Tony Scott films), it's admittedly pretty good overall. If you need 1990s cheese but don't want 1990s trash, this is a good watch.
