Reviews

Village Voice - Michael Atkinson
It's a simple pleasure watching an American movie that respects genre, knows its limitations, and genuflects at the memory of Don Siegel in the age of Spielberg.

Film.com - Sean Means
Fast-moving, watertight and firing from all tubes.
75
Christian Science Monitor - David Sterritt
Full of old tricks - cuts between worried faces and overheated gauges inching into the red zone - but director Mostow pulls most of them off with conviction and pizazz.

Washington Post - Stephen Hunter
It pulps you, but it doesn't enlighten you.

Boston Globe - Jay Carr
Never lets down, even if depth of character always takes second place to depth charges.
