"Don't make me roll after you!" - Snipes Wesley Snipes stars as a U.S. Marshall trying to ground a gang of aerial hijackers. The stunts are great, the pace is quick, and Snipes makes an agreeable action hero. When are we going to see a franchise for him? The plot is swiss cheese, though, but that doesn't faze director John Badham. He knows that skydiving sells, so he spends most of the film throwing his stuntpeople out of airplanes and letting the rest of the chips fall where they may. One question: where are the Flying Elvises? (Rated "R"/107 min.) Grade: B- Copyright 1994 by Michael J. Legeros
