"Tämähän oli ihan viihdyttävä tapaus. Lähes jatkuvasti on jotain meneillään, oli se sitten kapakkataistelua, takaa-ajoa, räjähdyksiä tai sitten vaan yleistä veijarointia. Geena Davis on kuitenkin tosi jähmeä ilmestys, pääpahis on todella PAHA tyyppi joka murisee kaikki vuorosanansa todella hilpeällä tyylillä ja onhan tämä muutenkin loppupeleissä täysin aivotonta törmäilyä mutta viihdytti kuitenkin odotettua paremmin.
