Strictly average movie
Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
