Patrick Stewart taking the ramp down..., 2 March 2000
4/10
Author: germain_levesque from Montreal, Canada

I was surprised to see Patrick "Shakespearian" Stewart commit himself in such a bad movie. The scenario is cheap and everything is so predictable. Did they really have to run that Robert De Niro line again - Aye you talkin' to me? This movie is a major deception.
