    Awful Movie...

    The only reason it gets a five from me is because Jimmy Cliff was in it. Easily Robin Williams worst film to this point in his career.

    Now I have to think of another five hundred words to leave this review. I only saw it because a friends father worked for a local radio station(WLOQ) and occasionally, got free tickets to movie premieres. This was one. There was another dud, which I can't recall, right now, and the single good/great movie was Aliens. The sequel to Alien, but based on our track record, I was certainly not optimistic about. Imagine my surprise when it turned out to be superior to the original.

    I think the other movie wax Armed and Dangerous. Also bad.
