I don't know how anyone could not like this film. Michael Keaton is wonderful in this movie. That's why I'm a little stumped on why there are not more posts for this film.

While the film has a couple problems...which in my opinion are with Andy Garcia and the cops, although Andy is not bad in this movie...at times he is pretty believable - but Keaton, just wow. He is spactacular as a con trying to escape.

This movie is going to be on again today 6PM pacific on TMC if anyone wants to see it. It's well worth taking a look at.

I think my favorite scene was when he was talking to the kid after (SPOILER) the kid hits him in the back with what looks like a crow bar.

Any other favorites?

I agree on, that Michael Keaton is brillian in this movie (but when isn´t he?)
However, I don´t think Andy Garcia is a problem. He is very convincing throughout the entire movie. 2 great actors, with a *beep* og chemistry together makes this movie a winner.
