Great screenplay and characters as well. For those who likes the genre. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review ari v I remember liking it a lot as a kid and this one actually hold up pretty goddamn beautifully. A highly underrated 90s classic really. And what the fuck is up with that "September 11th" thing? An eerie coincidence if ever there was one.
