I just watched it. I give it 1/10

It was like a poor man's Falling Down, just not interesting it all.

Robert Deniro wasn't the right choice for this. I didn't buy this old man as having a 7 year old son.

John Leguizamo was incredibly annoying. I hated everytime he opened his mouth.

Wesley Snipes was okay but needed better material to shine.

The color they put on this was terrible.

I don't believe that DeNiro would leave his son alone in the stands to go to a sales meeting.

This movie needed a lot of work to fix it.

Mostly it needed some lighter moments to help the movie breath.

yes i agree with everything you say. soundtrack is shit as well. trent reznor music is shit.

problem with this film is directing. i find tony scott directing style very assaulting on all senses. it is ugly.. too loud and in my face all time no release. his style work in 80s on top gun but not film like this.

And there's little annoying things like a cheap analog watch apparently has a musical chime alarm. And a radio host who takes her headphones off and slams then down while on air.

yes. and repeated use of line "i want to fuck you like animal" from song by shit band nine inch nonces is annoy as well!! this play all throughout film! why? when film maker put song in film it is meant to go along with what is on screens, it soundtrack films theme and character. but the retard who make this film put this song in film when de niro doing random thing and kid escaping from de niro? make no sense!

bizarre film. in 80s films were generally the shit but 90s films were generally just shit hahahahahahah.

I enjoyed it and Deniro was losing touch with reality leaving his son there along with shoving him aside to catch a fly ball.. I'm actually watching it on Blu Ray right now I purchased for $7.00
