The parents' guide to what's in this movie. Positive Messages. The PG shows harmless alternate material. No time difference : Alex points his gun directly at the face of the negotiator. Alternate footage : After the explosive belt did its work, the dead opponent drops to his knees and we see his bloody, headless torso falling to the ground.
The PG shows Snow waiting in a protective position a bit longer. The sound of the scene can be heard here, as well. The UR runs 0. The PG runs 1,12 sec. The PG shows agent Hock standing up. The PG runs 1,2 sec. No explicit details here.
Alternate footage : Several things in one. When the convict rips his face off the metal wall, the PG version is 1. Pure, intense drama. Alternate footage : Alex shoots the technician in both versions. However, the UR shows this onscreen. The PG cuts away early and shows Emilie and agent Hock hearing the shot.
The PG runs 4. Alternate footage : When Hydell shoots the hostage, he falls to the ground in the UR. The PG cuts away again and shows Emilie a little earlier before she screams into the walkie-talkie. She wants to be sure the deep-frozen prisoners aren't being mistreated. This woman is all heart. Unluckily, some of the most violent prisoners have taken over the prison, and with Emilie as their hostage, they're in a powerful position. He has skillfully assembled the story elements and left them in the hands of directors Stephen St.
Leger and James Mather , who reason that with breakneck action and shiny special effects, we will have no complaints.
It just about works. The idea of the president's daughter being held captive isn't blindingly original it's an alarmingly dangerous occupation , but placing the story on a space station is a masterstroke, since we're about filled up to here with prison movies set on Earth. I imagine the movie's intended audience will enjoy itself. I enjoyed myself in my own peculiar way.
I like to ask myself how real people would feel in a situation like this. If I were sent on Snow's mission, I would be paralyzed by fright most of the time. But then I'm not One Man. I would be dead several times over by the ending of this film. But not to worry. I'm not gonna tell you they parachute to Earth and land in New York City. Nothing like that.
Roger Ebert was the film critic of the Chicago Sun-Times from until his death in In , he won the Pulitzer Prize for distinguished criticism. Rated PG for intense sequences of violence and action, and language including some sexual references.
