Cast
- Dean Cain as Julian Taylor
- Tia Carrere as D.A. Jennifer Dern
- Bryan Brown as Captain Robert Brown
- Sean McCann as Pappy
Production
The film was shot in Toronto in May 1997.[1]
Russell said he was given orders to revisions by "anonymous" execs on the film. "It was change this, alter that – no discussion, 'just do it.' There was no one to talk to... It paid the rent."[2]
Reception
The Los Angeles Times said "Dialogue is deliriously silly, with the term "dogboy" used so frequently you'd think they're trying to make it a national catch-phrase."[3]
