A Modern Classic
I had never been a Stallone fan, but a Stone one. Based on this, Ray Quick is necesary for the plot though Stallone brings out a flat performance to his character, maybe that's the way its suppoussed to be. Woods and Steiger are the best actors in this film, but what i really liked was Stone's character, full of mystery, hidden agendas, surprises -she's weak and strong- unexpected switches and in basically control of the rest of the personages (plays Trent to catch Quick, but she's playing Trent too, to forfill her revenge- and control and kill Thomas, ultimatelly falls for the "heroe" ) there are parts that were blury (how did she really got out of Leons men to go and meet Ray at church, what was the connection with the old lady at the funeral?) and i believe Sharon Stone as an actress into her character has her moments (the way she looks at Erick Roberts in the bar when he implies they're going to spend the night together, the intriguing church scene, the punch she gives Woods) the dvd version is a clear nice to watch product and its features are good and entertaining, the score is just mesmerazing, hope to get it soon. The film can easly be a classic if it wasn't clashed by critics, though more darkness and suspense could had been added.
A very worth item on your "new classic" dvd collection, all and all i think this film deserves more than it's been shot at.

A boom¡
Great action movie,
