A good movie

This is easily one of the most surprising and underrated action movies I have ever seen. I mean, it was surprising in the sense that I didn't expect much from it but it ended up being really entertaining. The first masterstroke was to give Steven Seagal a supporting part (after 7 starring roles in a row, it was actually his very first supporting part) and, of course, to kill him within the first 30 minutes. I mean, after this shocking scene, you know you are watching something else than the usual action flicks. The 2nd masterstroke was to have Kurt Russell playing an analist, instead of his usual tough guys. Of course, it is a rather standard action movie with a standard plot but the movie is very well made and there are many bigger or smaller details like the one I mentionned before that make the whole thing really entertaining to watch. The best way to watch this is when you know nothing about it. Anyway, to conclude, in my opinion, it is one of the most underrated action movies ever made and it is definitely worth a look.
