Laurence Fishburne is a capable performer, but he's not asked to do much here. On the other hand, Charlie Sheen is unconvincing as his character experiences crises and moral dilemmas galore.January 01, 2000
Emotions in this film operate on a made-for-TV level; they don't engage you.February 27, 2007
