Enjoyable buddy-cop / sci-fi combo. Maybe it tips its hand a little too early, and never really tops the spectacular - and darkly funny - opening car chase sequence (man in a wheelchair, look out!), but the premise is fun, the pacing is breathless, and Kyle MaclLachlan's deliciously deadpan performance could be considered an early prototype for Agent Cooper of "Twin Peaks" fame. A terrific B-movie. *** out of 4.
