 Good Escapist Adventure April 25, 2009
Craig Connell (Lockport, NY USA)
It wasn't until my fourth viewing of this film (and first on widescreen DVD) that (1) I finally remembered who the killer was as soon as I saw him and (2) lost a little regard for this otherwise very entertaining thriller because of the implausible ending. That said, the fact I watched this movie four times over a 12-year span tells you how good it is (especially if you forget who the killer is!)
It's a different kind of adventure story/crime thriller in that the beginning and ending scenes are both in big cities and the long middle part is in the Northwest wilderness. There is some great mountain scenery to enjoy as we tag along with two groups: one which has the killer and his hostage (a slim Kirstie Alley!) and another with an FBI man (Sidney Poitier) and his guide (Tom Berenger), who is the hostage's boyfriend.
****spoilers**** had no problems with any of this story until the last 20 minutes when both parties reached Vancouver. Then, all credibility went out the window as Berenger is allowed to be side-by-side with Poitier as the latter and the killer shoot it out in various parts of the city. It gets worse as it goes on with Poitier a dead duck a couple of times but he never dies. Only Superman could have survived what he did, but he's the "good guy " so he makes it in the end. A little restraint in that ending would have kept this movie just great.
Still, the story offers a lot of suspense, a lot of mystery, interesting action and scenery.....in other words, a lot to like. If you have not seen this, this DVD is highly-recommended.

A well-produced, not predictive thriller! Great scenery setting and an outstanding story depicting actors Poitier, Berenger, Alley & Brown at their very best! One of my all time favorite movies!
