This was one of those films you accidentally watch on TV. And this one was one of the rare ones where I stayed watching.
It was fine to see so many good actors (especially of course John Cusack) to see in such a nice movie. And it was nice to see that John Badham is still directing. I waited for him since 'Nick of Time'. And, he was good again. The story was very interesting and not as ordinary as one thinks. And the end wasn't as I expected it.
If John Cusack goes on acting in so much good movies (and also producing them as he did here), he maybe will finally reach the Star-level he should have. If one has the potential to play main characters in blockbusters then he has. But maybe it's better when he goes on to act in nice smaller films, which are much better.
