Rés a pajzson

John Travolta és Christian Slater közötti rivalizáló feszültség elmarad a hasonlóan kitalált hongkongi klasszikusok gigantikus Woo-szerű arányaitól, és az egész film az egészséges távolságtartásból helyenként egészségtelen butaságba csúszik át. De az Utah-i sivatag vonzóan napos környezete, Hans Zimmer dinamikus zenéje, a menő Hummerek és Travolta által alakított vagány Vick Deakins elegendő hozzávaló a két órányi rendes akciószórakoztatáshoz.

It’s a classic. John Woo was just getting the ball rolling, but even so, there is little to fault in terms of action. Some things are typically far-fetched, but I don't think there's any point in addressing that. (2010.12.04)

An action flick that definitely doesn't offend and solidly entertains, but if you know anything of the Hong Kong work from this action god, it probably won't hold up. (2002.08.24)

It's kind of an average example of its time and what action films represented in the 1990s. John Woo isn't as daring here as he is elsewhere (especially not as much as in his homeland), and the film isn't as cool or as gritty. Still, it's a fairly successful ride that takes you all the way to a classic ending. (2016.10.12)
