Fresh and Exciting

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

An entertaining film for a rainy day. The plot is successful without being especially high budget and is carried by a few good scenes.However, the lead actor is noticeably wooden in his approach to the good cop position. The overall plot has a bundle of twists and turns but unfortunately still leaves an uneasy feeling about both characters morals towards the ending.I can't tell if my expectations were too high or the overall feeling afterwards was especially low but this film wasn't as good watching it for the second time. If it's on TV it's probably worth a look otherwise don't go out of your way to see it.

Well acted, especially by Sam Neill, who plays a very likable crook in this film. The roles were all well cast, mostly played by character actors rather than people picked for star power or appearance. The plot was twisted, but still easy to follow, and the characters all behaved in character. Mike's wife, at first unsympathetic, became more attractive towards the end, and the hatchet burying rang true. The twists all worked well, pacing was well-maintained, and the cast and characters all did a great job. I appreciated the mostly clean language, too. A lot of films of this kind seem to be trying to attract attention by making all the characters foul-mouthed and unpleasant. Information was dropped as and when it was needed, neither being over-explained or left floating.

I watched this as I had seen the original British 4 part series a few years back. This version wasn't bad but was not in the same league as the series which starred Timothy Dalton as Eddie Myers leading a very good cast.Le Plante is a good writer and her stuff is better in either a long movie version or spread over several episodes. This movie for TV version wasn't so good because the story needed longer to tell and cutting down on time and detail just made it look as though it was cheaply made.If you compare it to the 1992 4 hour series it shows just how mediocre it is. Nothing wrong with the acting, just that a good story was badly diluted.

After watching the commercials for this movie, I decided to watch it. To my surprise, I happened to enjoy it. Rob Lowe and Sam Neill connect, and this is much more than a good guy bad guy flick. The plot is very well done, and there's even some twists. They get along with each other at times, and even team up. I especially liked Sam Neill's character, because he's smooth and calm.
