The first desert scene.....
...I was like "hey, I bet that's Carpenter's character he's going to pick up." ....and then he did.
Pretty cookie cutter cop flick with a twist ending. It left a lot of unanswered questions and the writing seemed weak. Gave it a 5 though, the dashing through the snow in an '80s Bronco parts were fun.
btw, who played the tiny (assuming underage) hooker Cusack's character went to go see for info? I swear I've seen her in something else but she doesn't seem to be listed.
