William Davies and William Csborne wrote the screenplay decently and Russell Mulcahy's directing seemed well done. Bassinger portrays Karen McCoy well, giving her a believable feel and strong character. Kilmer, as JT, gives the movie some comic relief with his over-eagerness to live the life of a super criminal and his absolute inability to do it right. Schmidt is a worthy adversary as he is played by Terrance Stamp with just the right combination of intelligence and overconfidence. All in all, the movie is a good one, not great, but good. It works well, moves smoothly once it gets going, and has an intelligent plot. The plot, though, is not an original one and the movie itself isn't spectacular. What it comes down to is this: If you have some extra money and some free time, go see it. If you don't, it can wait for video tape or cable. This movie earns a six out of ten on my scale. Well, I must travel to another theater for another movie. Enjoy!
