I'll admit, the film is entertaining at times, and up until the age of 15 (when I started to grow an adult brain), I loved this movie. But now I look at it and just see another product on Reagan-era patriotic exploitation. Just like every "Ahnuld" film, "Sly" film, etc. The only real difference here is that some of the acting is very good, and the antagonist (can't believe his name alludes me at the moment) is brilliantly fiendish. Bruce Willis, on the other hand, is just another tough guy bonehead, only he doesn't have the physical condition to be one. A slightly new type of action movie for it's time, but nowadays just an average "seemingly invincible man defeats terrorists" type shite.
