As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Spoiler Alert: This is a bad movie. I'm not sure if that qualifies as an actual spoiler, but trust me. Your day will be spoiled if you sit through this movie. But I'm sure somewhere below I will reveal plot stuff that can be construed as spoilers.I've really been a fan of Sandra Bullock for a long time. She funny, adorable, and really a very good actress. I've never really seen her in a bad movie. Until now.I'm not going to blame her. It's not her fault. I suppose an aspiring actress needs something to do to make money or break into the acting business. But apparently it didn't hurt her career, so… whatever.On the whole, the acting was not just sub par. It was abysmal. Maybe some of the blame for that can rest with the direction/production, but not all. Sandra was the best one, and she was pretty green. Still, nothing can make up for the torture I was put through while trying to find something - anything - redeeming about this movie. I was utterly unsuccessful. Everything is gratuitous, from the absolutely unnecessary amount of dead bodies (with absolutely NO police interference whatsoever - right in the middle of the day in public buildings, no less) The foul language is also not only gratuitous and forced, but since the acting is so horrid it's all foul anyway. The head honcho over all the assassinations apparently loves giving orders over the phone, because he was on the phone more than a teenage girl. The editing is awful - you can tell where all the voice overs are. In one scene where Danny is riding in the car with "Dog" (or whatever his name was), all the background noise of driving, gravel, or city noise nearly disappears and the dialog is inserted at a different volume and you can hear the volume go in and out each time it's inserted. In each scene throughout the movie, the volume is high then low then high again… which didn't help the dialog because it was already bad, and after a while I started feeling lucky when it was low.I must confess, I couldn't finish the movie. I tried. I really did. But after about an hour I just didn't think I could take it anymore. Although I don't recommend anyone watch this for any actual pleasure, I do highly recommend it for breaking the will of our enemies.

WAIT until you've watched most of all other films ever released, wait a year, then watch this when you're ready for something with such low production values it that will not challenge anybody's imagination.I agree that whoever rated this movie as a ten-star production has to be doing it to skew the data. Anything above 8 would be odd.Nice to see the very young Sandy Bullock in her poofy hair for the short time she was featured, though she overdid the New Yorker accent but other times her southern (Virginia & NC) accent did sneak through. Ancient history for this accomplished actress who has grown so much since this film.The DVD I rented had two bonus features, a mini-bio section that only featured Sandra's bio - taken verbatim from IMDb. It also had a Trivia Quiz as a bonus - 3 questions. Hope you get them all right!

This movie was COMICALLY awful. It seemed to me more a film student's final project than a full movie production... and it is shamefully bad. The cover of the rental case that I picked up had Sandra bullock prominently displayed on it (while in the film she is on screen for less than 10 minutes) wearing a hat crudely photoshopped on her head that she never wore in the film. This movie is best enjoyed as an object of ridicule -- and is masquerading the incidental fact that Sandra Bullock is a tertiary character in it to get people to view it. That fact alone is almost as funny as the awfulness of the movie itself. It is as much a Sandra Bullock movie as "28 days later" is a sequel to Sandra Bullock's "28 days."

But certainly a serious contender for one of the worst 10 of all time.I got this DVD cheap, with Sandra Bullock as headliner on the case. This is false advertising - she's on-screen for almost 10 minutes of the movie.On the other hand, there was no other selling point for this movie - the dialog was horrible, the editing was apparently done by someone who was strung out on Quaaludes, the directing was ... well, let's just say that my 14-yo daughter could do better, but I hope she never sees such faint praise from me. It's possible that the family cat could have done better.Sandra does a creditable job for a first film, in the short time she's on-screen - and that's the only redeeming quality of this film. Stupid story, poorly written, and transferred to film as only a 7th-grade Media class should be able to do.In short, this is dreck.
