I found this while reading the list of Oldman's films, came here and saw it was well received. Went to Blockbuster and found there was only two copies on the shelf (note: amidst numerous copies of junk) This was a great film. I never felt that it was preachy or "a public service announcement." It wasn't an insult to my intelligence either. You really have to see it twice to understand it.

Don't do drugs messages, etc. etc. ???? --It made me want to start smoking cigs.

Since I first saw this in the theater it has been my favorite. Since then I've seen it countless times and I never get tired of it. The setting has a lot to do with it (the Colorado I know would be jealous), but the storyline is original and I liked how it used small town mountain folk as the heroes. There has not been a movie I can compare this too. John Lithgow plays a smart villain, but I love how he is completely out of his element--he has to follow Tucker around and that's what keeps it interesting. This is an action movie at it's BEST. I don't think I'll see another that is so entertaining.

You don't need 50,000 rounds fired to qualify as an action movie. It just has to keep you captivated, not shell-shocked.
