The film has a reasonable pace. The content is simple but entertaining. You certainly won't fall asleep.

A solid film, with a decent pace and some decent action scenes. Despite the weak story, the overall experience doesn't disappoint.

I couldn't find this one and on the advice of friends I watched it on YouTube, where it is available in full.

A truly fine action thriller from the early 1990s with a simple but effective story. The relatively young Dempsey (who looks remarkably like a young Sean Penn) is constantly on the run after the unfortunate death of a mob boss's son. Not only the mob, but also corrupt cops are after him, eager to claim the $50,000 bounty. They try every possible way to corner him, but his speed and resourcefulness keep him going. Later, he clings to the sexy Preston; she's the only one who can prove his innocence. Kelly Preston died of breast cancer in 2020 at the age of 57. It's a shame about the somewhat abrupt ending; I would have liked to see more of Preston in the aftermath.

By the way, the film reminded me a lot of Out of Bounds with Anthony Michael Hall, which has a similar story.

Fast-paced movie that's easy to watch, and one thing's for sure: Dempsey could run!
