With a screenplay partially written by John Carpenter (Halloween), a cast that includes Tommy Lee Jones in the lead, and a dream car called the Black Moon that travels up to 350 miles per hour, one should feel entitled to see a pretty good movie here. It doesn't quite work out that way, however. Jones plays a high-tech thief squeezed by the government into stealing data from a shady corporation. Under pursuit, he slips the booty into the back of the lightning-quick Black Moon, which is subsequently stolen by Robert Vaughn's hot-car operation. And so on. What could have been a smart, fast-paced action piece with some original elements and heated visuals suddenly cools after the story setup. It cools so much, in fact, that one begins to question the film's logic: why on earth, for example, would a smart, visionary villain such as Vaughn's character limit himself to stolen vehicles? Carpenter fans and other completists will want to check this out, understandably, but the rest of us will have to find points of interest in Jones's sharpened wits and supporting performances by Linda Hamilton, Lee Ving, and Richard Jaeckel. Directed by Harley Cokliss. --Tom Keogh

 Time filler January 7, 2010
C. G. Rolf (Arizona Rim Country)
This Tommy Lee movie is not typical of his normal filling of his character with interest and excitement. He is usually a unique reaction to the circumstances of the story, but this one is just so-so an only slightly amusing for real Tommy Lee fans, but still worth watching.
 great movie October 7, 2009
J. D. Webb (Taylorville,Il USA)
i had this movie on vhs and was afraid it would not be on dvd
"Forgotten" John Carpenter Classic!!! July 24, 2009
Peter Harrison (TAMPA EFF ELL A)
I agree; FINALLY a great DVD version of an unjustly "forgotten" movie! If you're a Carpenter fanatic like I am, YOU NEED TO GET THIS! And the price is RIGHT!
Peace!

Reader Hines (Indiana)
An older, but just as great, movie with two of my favorite actors in it, Tommy Lee Jones and Linda Hamilton. Plenty of action and thrills.
 Newer DVD version exists. Beware of poor quality releases! January 24, 2008

There are several versions of this DVD available. The newest release is;
Studio: Starz / Anchor Bay
DVD Release Date: December 18, 2007
ASIN: B000WC38DM
Look for it here on Amazon.
This release is also by Starz / Anchor Bay (DVD Release Date: January 30, 2001), but apparently some people have had skipping issues with this version (see the other reviews). Also, avoid the other releases which are cheap for a reason; most are full screen and poor quality transfers. Some even have the opening "computer text" removed.
I own three DVD versions and my recommendation is to go with the newest (2007) release!
