Title: Great performances help film in rough spots
Review: Spacey and Jackson have extremely high screen intensity that draws you to their performances. It's also notable for the great charcter actor J.T. Walsh's last movie, but it was a good swan song performance. Some of the action pieces bogged down the film, although F.Gary Grey's direction hightened the suspense of what exactly would come next. Kudos for the trailer people for missleading us in a way, so the end wasn't totally predictable from the two minute trailer, though it probably hurt the film's B.O. A must see for the fine performances of two of film's most talented men.
