Starting according periodic table nothing in universe is without a trace,in the movie water explode without a trace,simply absurd to open a fictional plot to do this low profile production,but the worst came up along the picture,the next 007 has a frivolous and unfaithful wife who is dating a powerful senator,our hero cries for this kind of woman,became a joke for everyone in senate...until the security guards make their bad comments ....it's so much disgrace to acept this kind of role,save me that!!!Resume:First watch: 1995 / How many: 2 / Source: TV-DVD / Rating: 5

Let me start off by saying there were several scenes that I enjoyed in this film. And I think Pierce Brosnan did a good job. What I had trouble with was the fact that in the courtroom scene, Brosnan notices the criminal make eye contact with a suspicious-looking man, who then gets up and leaves. Brosnan figures out that there is a bomb in the courtroom and gets everyone out (well, almost everyone) - and he's figured this out by the look exchanged by those two men. He got a very good look at the other guy. Yet, they never follow up on that lead. It's a courtroom in D.C. Surely there is surveillance footage they could be going through to identify this man. They never do that. They forget about him entirely. In fact, Brosnan never mentions this guy to anyone. Also, when they figure out that the terrorists will next target Ron Silver (because of a certain bill that he sponsored), Brosnan goes over to his house - but instead of questioning Silver about who might be against this bill, who might want him dead, he just yells at him to stay away from his wife. And then later when they figure out that what the bomb is, and how it's detonated, they also figure out a very easy way to defuse it. I won't give it away here. But suffice it to say that in later scenes with a bomb, they never bother to try this method of defusing it. It's sloppy writing. A bad script, with some good actors, some poor direction, and a terrible score.

This was one of Pierce Brosnan's earlier outings as Danny O'Neal, an explosives expert with the FBI. When two U.S. Senators are assassinated by a bomber, Brosnan and his partner are stumped: Where are the pieces of the bomb? Where is the trigger? I saw this the first time on one of the pay channels not long after it was released, mostly because Lisa Eilbacher (whom I've had a crush on since forever) was in the cast. I liked this movie because I was intrigued by the plot. How were they making bombs out of PEOPLE, for God's sake? Good performances by Ben Cross and Brosnan as the bad guy and the hero, respectively. Ron Silver is also slimy as ever as a crooked senator, and Lisa Eilbacher rounds out the cast as Brosnan and Silver's love interest (did I mention that I'm nuts about her?).So, if you're looking for a way to kill 90 minutes or so without having to work too hard at following the plot rent this. I found this again in the cheap section at the local rental store. It was well worth the $1.00 rental price.

This film is really crap. Pierce Brosnan, who is a good actor, plays an American tough guy who has problems in his marriage. He works as a bomb expert who runs into the man (ron silver) who is cheating on him with his wife. This is the basic storyline and the fact that he is tracking a group of terrorists is completely in the shadow of this terrible script.If you like Pierce Brosnan, but hate bad movies it is okay to skip this one
