Product Description
Stallone & Banderas are assassins with Moore as a info-highway thief caught in the middle of their battle to the death.Amazon.com
If Sylvester Stallone plays the world's number one assassin in this thriller, that must make Antonio Banderas, well, number two. The two are competing to hit the same target for a $20-million payoff, and their challenge takes them from explosion to explosion on a cat-and-mouse chase from Seattle to Mexico. Julianne Moore plays the cagey cat fancier and computer hacker who possesses a stolen computer disc that makes her a prime target for bad guys, and Robert Rath (Stallone) is only too happy to come to her defense. Director Richard Donner handles action sequences with adequate flair and has a good time blowing things up. Banderas has fun with the nonsensical plot, and Moore is enjoyable in one of her big-budget mainstream roles. --Jeff ShannonSimilarProduct

Action start to finish by .. Brenda Budziszewski (E.Brady, PA USA)
When I put this DVD in, and hit play, action started. The whole way through the 2 hour movie, there is action non stop, clear up to the end in the "No Goodbyes" scene. This is a great movie. My favorite part was in the taxi when Robert Rath (Stallone) And Miguel Bain (Banderas) meet.
If youre a fan of either Banderas or Stallone, then I strongly suggest this movie to you.
Great movie, great actors by .. ()
I love this movie, but I admit I'm a little turned off by the Stallone action genre. I'm glad I did watch it. I love Electra, she's the best. A woman can be a strong character, she doesn't do what he tells her, until she trusts him. The scene in which Stallone spills his guts about liking her is even more compelling because she's not around to hear it. Great job by Antonio, he's just beautiful enough to be scary. Great movie!!
Stallone's Best by .. LaShaun A. Williams ()
I personally think this was one of Sly's best movies, even better than the Rocky series.
Stallone plays the part of a man named Robert Rath who has been an assassin for over fifteen years. His conscience is finally cathing up to him and he wants out of the business. Before he retires he decides to do one last hit worth $20 million, enough money to live comfortably for the rest of his life.
Banderas plays the part of Miguel Bain, a young, very ambitious, ruthless assassin who is determined to be the world's best contract killer. The only thing standing in his way is Stallone.
Moore plays the part of the woman who Stallone was supposed to assassinate, but instead developed strong feelings for.
The three of them combine to make one of the best movie's of 1995 with plenty of action, drama, and a semi-love story. I highly recommend it.
I want a Ruger .22 by .. shivatrance (rehoboth, DE USA)
What a fun movie!
Stallone is horrible as he is in most movies; I still find it amazing that even he believes that he can act. But Bandaras is outstanding as the nemisis killer. He oozes sociopathic behavior that seems incredibly real. Great performance.
Not a great one though for Moore, but ok. Her character is the dullest of the three, but is still an integral part of the plot.
The gunfights are incredible. I think there are only something like three unsilenced shots fired in the whole film out of about three hundred.
Great fun for any hitman fan. Granted the story is a bit unplasable, but the actions and weaponry as well as the tactics come off as seeming to be pretty realistic, at least what I would think would be realistic.
Plus, you have to love any movie that has Portishead in its soundtrack!
