"Cage and Jackson together is a match I wanna see more of and the chemistry between them is the main selling point for this little early nineties gem. Dated at times, but it’s 1993 what did you expect? Everybody smoked back then and they didn’t use seatbelts. Within about 15 minutes the cops are putting on body armor and opening fire on a black man they assume is a thief, and it isn't much longer before the police chief hisses "Fvck the First Amendment." This turns into a pretty broad media circus swipe, sort of a safe Ace In The Hole, with everyone equally, toothlessly caricatured, but I was kind of fascinated by its timeliness, intentional or not. The fact this ends with a song by Sir Mix-a-Lot that just outlines the plot and yet is still a certified banger makes it a classic in my mind."

"All together a fun action movie with alot of comedy, and a lil racial backbone, great movie all around. Cops are after a fugitive who hides in a mans house and drags him into the chase 6.5/10"
