Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJeff Bridges and Tommy Lee Jones are good friends in real life. Also, they were both considered to play Snake Plissken in "Escape from New York (1981)" before Kurt Russell got the part.
- GoofsAt the beginning of the movie during the disarming of the bomb at MIT you had Dove and Cortez in the room with Nancy and one or more bomb squad personnel in the hallway. The bomb squad personnel all had to be there; Nancy did not. Why didn't Cortez or one of the other bomb squad personnel take over the keyboard from Nancy so that they could get her out of there? This just did not make sense.
- Quotes
Ryan Gaerity: I've come here to create a new country for you called chaos, and a new government called anarchy.
- Crazy creditsThis film is dedicated to the memory of Officer Jeremiah J. Hurley of the Boston Bomb Squad, and to the more than Three Thousand Certified Bomb Technicians throughout the world who risk their lives for our safety every day.
- Alternate versionsIn addition to your normal dialogue and language cuts, the TV version also edits the computer sequence so that the display does not cycle text on part of the monitor, whereas in the original version, there is text in that section, including a b-word used in a context that network TV likely would not have tolerated. Some parts of this sequence are also cropped so that just the typing is visible.

Featured review
I was really surprised to read a few other comments on this film praising Tommy Lee Jones' Irish accent - you have got to be kidding !! The whole film stinks and is as bad if not worse than Patriot Games. What is this obsession with deranged IRA killers?? It may come as a shock to some people but all IRA killers are deranged. As are the Boston Police department for allowing one to work for them without checking - maybe they have a few mass murderers in their ranks too. The Bridges family are useless in this film, I think Lloyd was asleep in his scenes, and Jeff has simply made another bad filming decision !! Jones is ok (apart from the accent) and Forrest Whitaker loses his way.
Stuff and nonsense.
