3rd movie in my Kiefer Sutherland movie marathon.
I have seen half of Kiefers movies and this movie is really good but he has been in way better movies then this one.Kiefer does a great job at acting in this movie and so does the good looking Melora Walters from the good movie The Butterfly Effect.
There are some good scenes in this movie like when Kiefer shoots a man in the bath room and all the scenes in the end of the movie are all so good.
Over all this is a good Kiefer Sutherland movie and it is worth renting and my rating is 6 out of 10.

Plot summary
Banks is a hit man, the best, usually working for Latin American drug cartels. He picks up solitary women, uses them briefly for a job, then kills them. He's in the Southwest, headed toward Mexico, when he picks up Bennie, a woman leaving an abusive marriage, going to Paradise, Arizona. The film follows three tracks: Banks's slow recruitment of Bennie, the set-up for the hit at a swank resort in Mexico, and the FBI's close pursuit of Banks, whom they want alive in hopes he'll rat out his bosses. Bennie may not be who she seems, and there may be a chink in Banks's tough-guy armor. Guns, money, and a chance at Paradise.

good Kiefer movie
Run of the mill Cops & Assassin
Good acting and an interesting storyline but the script is below par. As they say if you don't have a good script you won't have a good movie.
Interesting premise and there is a twist (2 twists actually) to the ending which brings this up to just beyond a "B" movie. Then it stops there.
Meg Ryan is credited as a producer and she certainly picks better movies to act in than produce.
Our lead character, Jack, is a hired... No - wait. Kiefer Sutherland is Arthur Banks, a world class hit-man who happens to wear Jack's Ray-Bans (see 24) and is traveling to his next job. He picks up a woman for a cover and accomplice along the way. The Feds are just two steps behind him.
Whomever wrote this needed some help in fact checking and reality.
At one point there is talk of a tungsten core bullet that spins faster which enhances accuracy. Um, no. It doesn't matter if a bullet is lead, copper, tin, steel or gold. That doesn't affect the spin rate.
The movie starts out in the Southwest. Yet they drive for at least 3 or 4 days before entering Mexico. All on 2 lane roads. Sure, I can see not making a bee line but that's a little silly.
A couple of bodies need to be dumped. Not much thought is given on where to dump them so as not to be discovered. The first one is why not in the bushes? The second body is a good place as long as nobody has a sense of smell.
Don't you think if the Feds were given permission to enter Mexico the Mexican Authorities would at least tag along?
Not worth renting and see what else is on TV before watching.
