Film Threat Rated: 2.5/5 Dec 6, 2005 Full Review Chuck O'Leary Fantastica Daily Rated: 2/5 Sep 28, 2005 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Sep 26, 2005 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews [The movie occasionally resembles a movie-of-the-week], complete with romantic montages set to sappy rock ballads... Rated: 2.5/4 Dec 14, 2003 Full Review Pablo Villaça Cinema em Cena Stallone cria um personagem simptico, mas o pssimo roteiro e a falta de talento do diretor transformam o filme em uma experincia lamentavelmente ruim - e Madeleine Stowe j pode se aposentar depois de oferecer a pior performance de sua carreira. Rated: 1/5 Aug 21, 2003 Full Review Scott Weinberg eFilmCritic.com Sly - despite his seemingly unquenchable desire to prove me otherwise - deserves better than this. Rated: 2/5 Jun 12, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews

PL W While it is not a typical Stallone movie he actually gives a very sincere performance. Sure it not Rocky or such but it show another side of him, Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/12/24 Full Review Jelisije J I like dark comedies, but I found very few times I laughed at anything and I was just waiting for the movie to end as soon as as I went to the middle of the run time. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/29/24 Full Review Liam D While Sylvester Stallone (Daylight, F.I.S.T.) gives a decent performance it blend of Romcom and action movie is bizarre and the score by Oscar nominee Bill Conti (F/X, Year of the Gun) is very awful Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/20/22 Full Review Audience Member It's OK, nothing special. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Slow and boring. Not a good role for Stallone Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Never heard much about this film so I thought it would be another solid Stallone action film but it turned out to be an action/comedy/romance film there's little action, The comedy wasn't great 9 times out of 10, And there was too much romance especially the last 20 minutes, Stallone tries to save the film but he fails, It's not great or memorable. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
