This chase thriller may be pretty unbelievable from start to finish, but at least director Geoff Burrowes, who keeps it going at a pounding pace, and star Patrick Dempsey, whose casual wisecracking style and impeccable timing provide some light and shade in a movie that sorely needs them, give it 100 per cent.

Dempsey goes on the run after winning the pot in a casino poker game and has a hard time keeping both pursuers and our disbelief at bay as bodies drop all round him.

There are chases and crashes galore and the destruction of an amusement park en route as Dempsey attempts to cross the picture's finishing line before the nearest stray bullet.

Although a pretty empty exercise, this film does at least live up to its title.

Kelly Preston is once again handed a role that requires her to be no more than decorative.
