This movie holds up in a post-practical effects world. Now, he seems more like a modern day magician, but the action is solid for a modestly budgeted film of the mid-80's. Could have been a much bigger movie, but at the time, people were not as familiar with the abbreviation F/X as modern moviegoers are with CGI. Fun and fast paced with engaging characters. Brian Dennehy's cop Leo is so of the time, it practically is satire. 9/10

Tons of fun and an excellent premise. It does get too busy for it's own good at times, which takes away some points as a result, but overall with a little brain power, it's a great action/thriller

Another movie I thought was great when I was a kid. Must have watched it a dozen or more times. Still a great movie. The acting in a lot of it is pretty bad, but it doesn't take away from it. Still solid.

Seen this one a few times over the years, not great and Bryan Brown is a bit limited with the dramatic stuff but still an all around entertaining suspense-thriller. **3.5/5**
