This high-speed action comedy stars Charlie Sheen as Jack Hammond, who has been given a life sentence for a bank robbery that he didn't commit. Hammond manages to escape, and while trying to avoid capture at a gas station, he ends up kidnapping Natalie Voss (Kristy Swanson); he threatens her with what she thinks is a gun, although it turns out to be a candy bar. Jack and Natalie take off in her BMW, with Jack unaware that his "victim" is actually Dalton Voss (Ray Wise), one of California's richest and most powerful land barons. Soon half the state's law enforcement officers and every member of the media is on Jack's tail as he races down the highway; in the meantime, Natalie and Jack get to know each other, and while she doesn't much care for him at first (as you might imagine), before long her attitude has softened quite a bit. Alternative rock fans might want to keep an eye peeled for Henry Rollins, playing a policeman, and Anthony Kiedis and Flea from The Red Hot Chili Peppers as a pair of yahoos with a very large truck. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    This is a screwball comedy wannabe version of Badlands I think. The stars, or Hollywood, must've been in a slump when this was released. Dialogue was choppy. The action was choppier. Sheen's career was good from 1984 to 1990. After that it was forgettable flicks. Though you can see him trying to act, it's just not that good. Swanson went back to TV a few years later. Some punk rockers got a shot at moviedom. After the credits you will see a clown do the Kilgore monologue from Apocalypse Now... I'm not sure if the clown was Robert Duvall himself.

    wow! what a fun movie! It has tons of action, romance, drama, and comedy! It was so enjoyable and shows what happens when one is just in the wrong place at the wrong time and makes the wrong decisions. The results are wonderful and the twist ending is something I really enjoyed!

    Right from the begining it picks up and goes, never boring. Henry Rollins has the best part as a cop tring to impress a 'Cops' TV show crew. Flea and Anthony from Red Hot Chili Peppers have amusing ceomes and Kristy Swanson is smokin' hot in this one.

    Yes   |   No
