i think tony scott is a horrible director. i get a headache watching his films...

travolta doesn't look very menacing, and washington looks...old. plus the original was a snoozer. i'm not holding my breath, but i hope it's good.

I thought the same thing about Travolta not looking that bad-ass for a kidnapper or whatever he is.

His high pitched voice always hurts the performance I think.

these movies always sound stupid, and then turn out to be rather entertaining. Dvd rental for sure.

Looks entertaining but there are plenty of other movies out or that are coming out that look better than this so I guess I will rent this when I can.

My friend said it was decent.

I wanna see it. Not the biggest Travolta fan, but I do like Washington.
