Summary: Standard action-suspense fare
Review: This derivative action suspenser about a psychopath, which has been slammed by critics as well as most reviewers below, may not be the greatest of its kind, though it is redeemed by the performance of Michael Keaton, who is always absorbing in this the role of manipulative, intelligent villains - (see him also in "Pacific Heights", which is a very good complimentary film to this one.) Otherwise, the film is a breathlessly fast-moving thriller, at a suitable length.

Summary: Michael Keaton is Box Office Poison
Review: This is a truly awful film. Actors and actresses should be very wary when considering taking part in films starring Michael Keaton. He has hit rock bottom throughout the 1990s and this rotten picture only adds to his woes.
Rating:
Summary: unpleasant
Review: This is an unpleasant movie about an unpleasant person. On top of that, although it's supposed to be suspenseful, the final scene is stupidly predictable. Yes, it's a fast-paced action movie, but unless you really enjoy watching psychopaths kill people, don't buy this. (My comments are based on the version shown in theatres.)

Summary: One of the best physcotic thrillers you'll come across
Review: This movie has its point and the cast are amazing, especially Acadamy Award winning actress Marcia Gay Harden. Action, Suspense, Thriller and drama provided, this movie is all what it is, Andy Garcia and Michael Keaton provide their best preformance and the race to save Andy's child begins...Best to watch it in Widescreen.

Summary: Whateva, Man
Review: This so-called "nail-bitting thriller" concerns a cop, trying to save his son's life must deal with a homicidal sociopath who, just happens to be the only suitable bone-marrow donor in the entire world. Yeah, right.

Summary: A Very Enjoyable Film
Review: Were it not for the use of the "F" word, a number of times, and a few violent scenes, like showing a closeup of a needle being injected into a person, I would class this as a very enjoyable family film (for mature children over 12). It was probably classed as "Restricted" because of some scenes where the criminal threatens the child.
I watched this film on TV with my 11-year-old daughter, and we both really enjoyed it. I thought the actors' performances were fantastic. The reason my daughter enjoyed the film was because it was about a child's situation. I had to explain a few details to her, as we watched, but she was caught up in the story of the child who needed a bone-marrow transplant, and all that happened leading up to it. Andy Garcia plays a very loving father, who will do ANYTHING to help his son, thus overshawding the violence in the film. This is not a film kids under 15 should watch by themselves, but with parents, it would be quite OK.
Michael Keaton turns in a really masterful performance as a serial murderer with a super-high IQ, who manages to turn his supposed aquiescene to the bone-marrow donation into a masterful escape plan. The whole movie is a super piece of suspense. It kept both my daughter and myself on the edge of our seats. My husband arrived toward the end, and said he had previously seen the movie, and had enjoyed it as much as we did.

Summary: What can I say Keaton playing a psychopath, it's great!
Review: When I saw the previews for this movie I could not wait to see it. Keaton is one of my favorite actors. He portrays a great mad man, and although the average critic disagree this movie is a classic in my book! Buy if you like Keaton or psychopath movies, otherwise stay away from it so I don't hear your critisism about this film classic!
