From Prague to New York, the clock is ticking…
Critic Reviews:
- " Nuclear-bomb-in-NYC plot leaves sour aftertaste. " – Nell Minow
- " Thrilling non-stop action, successfully contrasting the opposite styles of Anthony Hopkins and Chris Rock. " – Urban Cinefile Critics
- " You can sip your vintage wines and watch your Merchant Ivory productions; I'll settle for a nice cool glass of iced tea and a Jerry Bruckheimer flick any day of the week. " – Matt Easterbrook
