Rating:  - Super Thief on the edge of Retirement
Val Kilmer does an awesome job as a super Thief that has lots of looks and tricks up his sleave. Hired by a corrupt Russian businessman to steal a formula to Cold Fussion for a British scientest whom he not only makes a connection with but eventually falls in love with. The originally play a little cat and mouse and join sides to fight the corrupt Russian. In the end he gives it up for her love.
A really good and clean movie that will pull you into the story. One for the library.
Rating:  - Good "spy" movie
The romance between Kilmer and Shue is extremely believable. The spy games and the basic plot are absurd, but the observer is able to suspend disbelief and join characters and creators alike on an imaginative journey of Intrigue, deception and discovery.
In Val Kilmer's repetoire, this is probably one of his most overlooked, if brilliant performances. Too, I think Shue is not given the credit as a serious actress that she deserves. Between her performance in this and Leaving Las Vegas, people should learn to take note of her.
A brilliant film that should have spawned a decent sequel but never did.
Rating: - Val Kilmer is so smooth!
I loved this movie. It is not complete fantasy though, Val Kilmer's character is not your average untouchable action hero. He does make mistakes. He is one of the world's top thieves and is also a master of disguise, but this causes trouble for him early in the movie. He steals a cold fusion formula from a scientist played by Elisabeth Shue and has to choose stealing the formula over his love for Shue. He has to steal the formula because she would be hunted down if a humane person like Kilmer didn't steal it. After he sells it to the Russians they find the formula incomplete and he has to give them the missing link before they kill him. He also has to save Elisabeth Shue since they are back after her. There is much more going on in the movie and it is one wild ride!
4/5
The DVD from Paramount has good picture and sound quality. There is a director's commentary.
Rating: - Not great ,just very good.
I found this movie fun to watch and thought Val Kilmer did a nice job. THis isn't as bad as you may have heard and not as great as some reviews would have you believe. This is one to catch if you can but don't spend all day looking for it!
Rating: - excellent
I think this movie is one of those movies that is always overlooked. It is a wonderful movie. Everytime you watch it you will "discover" something new.
