Entertaining. Action. Great Pedigree. If only the real life story was as fun! True example of when a movie can take one on a journey that really is a bit of wishful thinking for a few hours

Did Hank's character love this kid? The saddest line in show business was when he Said,"Brenda," at the airport. I say that every time I'm betrayed now. Lie to me and hear me say, "Brenda" as I imagine you in a bright pink dress your secret collaborators can follow. Try It. Dulls the pain. Bless the screenwriters and L. for Making it so believable.

I need to see this again, but possibly the most important scenes of this movie (huge spoilers!) show him falling apart and realizing that the most stable figure in his life is the person trying to arrest him, and the ending. "No one's chasing you Frank." Just wow.
