I don't know why this adventure-comedy is so under-appreciated., 23 February 2000
9/10
Author: Chazzzzz (grok-huy@prodigy.net) from Jacksonville, FL

Given Tom Selleck, Bess Armstrong, Wilford Brimley, Robert Morley, Brian Blessed, and Jack Weston, and a bunch of excellent aerial action scenes, this is a terrific film. So what if there isn't a great message, or outstanding drama. For what this is... a comedy-adventure... it's great. Tom and Bess have always been extremely watchable to me, and they continue that tradition here. A solid 9.
