Breathless, bombastic entertainment. You could take a Sam Jackson buddy duo to the Federal Reserve Bank. Bigger, badder, twisting and topical blockbuster fare in ‘90s New York at its finest.

“That’s a Kentucky Harvester.” The Goldsmith score, especially Gizmo’s recurring theme, is just so wonderful.
