Is a combo of thrills, juicy one-liners and fine star turns by Kevin Bacon and Elisabeth Shue.

rotten:
Despite a wealth of special effects and direction by Paul Verhoeven, Mr. Over-the-Top himself, this movie is surprisingly inert, more dull than anything else, with little to recommend it on any level.
