jasonaaronfort Remember when Elaine on Seinfield called the bland guy vegetable lasagna? Well this is the vegetable lasagna of action movies. Not bad, not good. Bronson's character is an explosive expert, not James Bond. However, he can do anything and everything while crying about his feelings for his ex. Watch a Bond movie instead.

david-sarkies Generally I have discovered that terrorist movies where terrorists place bombs everywhere are quite dull. They have been so dull that I can't even record their names. This movie promised to be such a movie and as such I was slow in wanting to watch it. In fact I was quite surprised. The bad guys were middle eastern terrorists and as such it promised to be even more dull. Then the main character was having problems with his wife and I was wondering when the clichés would end.Well, the movie wasn't all that bad. Three senators were promising to supply weapons to some Middle Eastern nations, but there were three who rescinded on their promise and had the influence to block this. As such the terrorists wanted to pressure them to fall into line, and had devised an explosive which activates when mixed with acid. One expects bombs to be devices that are activated with timers, but this explosive is simply activated through a reaction with acid - especially stomach acid and as such is disguised as water and the subjects drink it, then explode.The catch in this movie is that the FBI agent who is investigating these explosions has a problem with one of the senators - his wife was caught having an affair with him. Thus the agent is torn between his animosity towards the senator and his duty to protect him. There are a number of suspicions that the agent has towards him, but he is generally treated as being a decent chap. In the end though it is realised that he is corrupt and his death is very deserving.This movie is okay. It isn't one to rave about, nor is it full of action packed explosions. It is something to simply watch and enjoy while waiting for a movie of a decent caliber to come along.

snowshoe5603 This was one of Pierce Brosnan's earlier outings as Danny O'Neal, an explosives expert with the FBI. When two U.S. Senators are assassinated by a bomber, Brosnan and his partner are stumped: Where are the pieces of the bomb? Where is the trigger? I saw this the first time on one of the pay channels not long after it was released, mostly because Lisa Eilbacher (whom I've had a crush on since forever) was in the cast. I liked this movie because I was intrigued by the plot. How were they making bombs out of PEOPLE, for God's sake? Good performances by Ben Cross and Brosnan as the bad guy and the hero, respectively. Ron Silver is also slimy as ever as a crooked senator, and Lisa Eilbacher rounds out the cast as Brosnan and Silver's love interest (did I mention that I'm nuts about her?).So, if you're looking for a way to kill 90 minutes or so without having to work too hard at following the plot rent this. I found this again in the cheap section at the local rental store. It was well worth the $1.00 rental price.

themovieman2424 This is one of my all time favorite movies, forget the water as a bomb, the story was held together by that string that is in all of us, JEALOUSY ! Jealous for the girl, jealous for the guy, and my all time favorite actor to portray a " Dick Head " Ron Silver is brilliant ! This is a movie to watch over and over, one to pick out the great 1 liners used, by Pierce. I just can't say enough about it. As for the year of release let's really think about what great movies there were in 1992? ? ? ? ? ? Exactly, not a whole lot, so give this what I call the " Sleeper Try !" There is a new release out just as similar as this film, called Scotland, PA Check it out !
