Trivia:
The Pittsburgh Police badges are plastic resin casts of actual PPD badges. The props crew was given 4 badges to use, and thus all of the badges are one of only 4 numbers. This was done with the agreement that all casts and molds had to be returned to PPD so they could be destroyed once filming was complete.

Goofs:
Continuity: When the two cars go off the road and crash at the end of the first car chase, it is broad daylight, yet, when Bruce Willis' character is recovered from under the car, it is completely dark.

I caught this one on TV at about midnight, and I wasn't planning to see more than five minutes of it. I did (why would I write this comment if I didn't) and it kept my interest through the whole film. Bruce Willis and Sarah Jessica Parker were excellent together and the supporting cast was also outstanding.
Director Rowdy Herrington also brought us the awful A Murder of Crows (1999), but he didn't ruin this one, even if it did get a little far-fetched in places. An interesting plot line, and Willis is believable in his role.
+ (GOOD THINGS) 1.) Direction 2.) Chemistry between Willis and Parker 3.) Ending (unlike everyone else, I didn't see it coming) 4.) Length 5.) The score 6.) John Mahoney's performance
- (BAD THINGS) 1.) Believability 2.) The script (uneven in places)
TOTAL: 7/10
