Wissenswertes
Denzel Washington worked out for three hours a day, six days a week for four months so as not to look out of shape for his shirtless scenes.

Patzer
When Styles is playing basketball against Odessa near the beginning of the movie, you can clearly see the face of a stunt double with much darker skin, who is driving and slam-dunking the basketball rather than Denzel Washington.

Zitate
Parole Board Official: Mr. Blake, what will you do if you get out of prison?
Blake: [thinking] Well, I guess, Mr. Chairman, that first I'll pay a visit to your house.
Parole Board Official: To thank me, I suppose?
Blake: No... to fuck your wife. And your daughter. Hell, maybe even your dog.

Alternative Versionen
Original UK video & cinema releases were cut by 5 secs, including a shot of a butterfly knife being twirled and a brief shot of child porn magazine covers, in line with UK laws on child protection (Protection of Children Act, 1978); for the latter, an alternate take where the covers are obscured is used for all UK releases.

Action Picture Fizzles Upon Impact **1/2

Denzel Washington, a policeman in law-school is playing basketball with the neighborhood toughs.

He achieves fame by bringing down a drug dealing character, played extremely well by John Lithgow, who by his acting of a psychopath, put a new dimension into his acting abilities.

Washington has it made as the years pass. Lithgow plots revenge while incarcerated and breaks out violently at his parole hearing.

He turns the tables on Washington in several ways including the killing of his friend and fellow officer, nice played by Kevin Pollak. Washington is blamed for the killing. He kidnaps Denzel and shoots drugs into his system and provides him with a prostitute.

The two eventually tangle on top of a high area before the obvious ending occurs.

A good story allowed to go awry by crazy staged events.
