I'm not sure what Kevin Bacon was thinking, but this is easily his worst film to date. With his mockney accent in the same league as Dick van Dyke's in Mary Poppins, it seems that this was a "take the money and run" film.
It could have been a good film. It really could have. But the big reveal at the end was telegraphed within the first 30 minutes. The acting was awful. The accents horrific. The direction abominable. In one fight scene, a kick to the head, in slow motion, with no contact, resulted in the victim spitting out blood. The sound effects in the fight scenes was also poor, worse even than those terrible action flicks of the early 80s.
Don't waste your time, folks. The people who made this film didn't, and nor should you.
