      Audience Member Good, funny, worth seeing ;) Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Udover Assante, så var der intet at komme efter her. Historien var dog ikke helt elendig, og havde sine momenter, men alt i alt alt for kedelig og langtrukken. En film der burde have varet halvdelen af tiden. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Has its moments, but not enough to add up to a watchable witness protection programme going wrong thriller. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Not even close to being a good action film. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Nice when women don't act like weeping wimps for once, in a movie. Heh, heel in forehead... one more good reason why to wear high heel shoes.;) Chain fireworks on mobsters cars and then wracking their little house was pretty sweet way to make his point. It's no great movie really, but strangely I did enjoy it... more or less. The cover should be redesigned though. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member A honest gangster movie, with funny shots, but nothing original, in my opinion. Assante could compete with the early Clint Eastwood, when critics told he had just two expressions: with and without hat. Here Assante has no hat at all :D Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Scott Weinberg eFilmCritic.com Perhaps it's only because I see five movies a week that are even stupider than Federal Protection that I can give it a mild recommendation. Rated: 3/5 Sep 14, 2002 Full Review Read all reviews
