Never reaches the summit

An excellent direct-to-DVD movie (there, I show my age).
As a theatre movie: seriously? Why? Why shoot your whole movie with no depth of field? Why film with a potato?

Also, why does Neeson keep acting in these action flicks? Bloke's past 70 now, and rich as can be. I'll admit he still holds up well for his age, though.
Fan is devastatingly charming, and goes 110% into her role. Morrell is more fun than a barrel of Aussie monkeys.

The storyline is full of holes and less than griping (watched this as a 3-parter, doing something else); exterior shots are nice but could have used professional photography. They're unexpectedly grounded in realism, though; almost part documentary. Or amateur travelogue.


I've watched worse in the 80s. It's still a rather bad movie. But it has a quirky charm.
