December 19, 2010Initially, what got me to watch this flick was the poster campaign along with its taglines.
"If you just want to hate, you can come up with all kinds of reasons."

April 28, 2010An absurd plot, but you find yourself rooting for James Garner and that tank, especially against that jackass sheriff. Are all southern sheriff's like this?

March 21, 2007Even James Garner could salvage this one, as Shirley Jones gave a mediocre performance and C.Thomas Howell's character portrayal was so poor (not that he had much to work with) it is no wonder he hasn't been heard from since. Plot was not only trite, it was stupid.
