Just Barely Not Watchable
25 September 2023
It's almost watchable.

For me, watchable starts at 5.

First off, it has Eric Roberts in it. ALWAYS a bad sign. Lol The biggest names for the time were Sly and Stone; and they somehow get zero real scenes to shine.

Stone's scenes are dominated by Roberts, as if he was the star. Other than that, nothing but noir-esque tape recording voice overs.

Sly is wooden the entire picture. The only attempts to get you to sympathize - action scenes to save people. Scenes of him just talking to extras would have done more to that end. He's clearly the intended protagonist - and somehow plays 5th fiddle; to the 3 villains and the girl. It's weird.

The only gem in this turd is James Woods, who carries the entire picture like Atlas; unfortunately, to no avail.

He simply couldn't save it.
