NOTES Disappointing thriller despite presence of Depp. On arrival at L.A. station Depp and his daughter are 'hijacked' and he is forced to play the assassin's part in complex conspiracy against the governor of California. The film finds it hard to keep the plot rolling over the 90 minutes he's given to do the job and the film ends abruptly. Depp is helped to avoid his having to kill by a shoeshine man who has lost one leg and hearing in one ear during service in Vietnam. Both disabilities are used as part of plot. He pretends to be totally deaf, and when he is shot in the leg it is the one which is prosthetic.
