Whenever John Denver is flying a plane in this I'm on edge, holy shit. John Denver probably made everyone stop to smell the forest in the rain between takes, he's the most unconvincing FBI type action hero agent. He's so gentle, too gentle. He'd do that crass smell my fingers thing and what the hell ...is that lilac?? I'd watch this movie sitting next to a fireplace in an easy chair with a hot chocolate at a cottage.
