Director Stephen Sommers has a kind of soulless, leaden touch, with none of the sleek, sprightly fun this kind of movie requires.

Sommers action laughs formula is entertaining, but the chuckles dominate the tone of the film and undermine any gripping sense of danger.

As far as mindless, old fashioned cliffhanger type films go, this one mostly works and delivers the goods in a rousing, albeit quite familiar way.

Part of the bargain of this old fashioned, rip roaring story is a great quantity of gunslinging and fisticuffs.
