Title: PROOF OF BOREDOM!
Review: There should be a Surgeon General's warning on this ironically titled disc that users will lose two hours of precious life and could even be bored to death as a side effect. Taylor Hackford directs Meg Ryan and Russel Crowe in a trite hostage rescue story that flirts heavily with the "Casablanca" plot and fails miserably. The only reason I watched the DVD was in the hopes that the infamous love scene between Crowe and Ryan would be included in the deleted material. But it is not. Hackford's insipid commentary track is a moronic description of the action on screen. (Or maybe it's meant for the hard-of-seeing?) He modestly admits he omitted the "best love scene ... ever shot" at the request of Ryan. What was he thinking? What about us, the voyeurs?
Is the review positive or negative?
