Even die-hard fans of Kevin Costner will be disappointed by this daft drama in which he plays a retired navy pilot who visits old friend Anthony Quinn in Mexico, only to incur the latter's wrath when he goes off with his wife, Madeleine Stowe. Laboriously directed by the normally fluent action maestro Tony Scott, it becomes exceedingly silly, and overacting abounds as Costner and Stowe flee the understandably irate Quinn, who decides the murder of at least one of them is the best revenge. Costner bounced back with his next project, the smash hit Dances with Wolves, for which he won the Oscar for best director and was nominated as best actor.

Michael ‘Jay’ Cochran has just left the Navy after 12 years and he's not quite sure what he's going to do, except that he knows he wants a holiday. He decides to visit Tiburon Mendez, a powerful but shady Mexican businessman who he once flew to Alaska for a hunting trip. Arriving at the Mendez mansion in Mexico, he is immediately surprised by the beauty and youth of Mendez’s wife, Miryea.
