Matt Singer’s review published on Letterboxd:
Just the most wonderful piece of 90s thriller sleaze, with Pierce Brosnan as a bomb disposal expert more worried about his unfaithful wife than his latest case, which involves (spoiler alert) explosive water!!! The 90 minutes that follow feature corrupt U.S. senators, obnoxious mothers in law, exploding clowns, horny robots, maudlin flashbacks to tragic child deaths, and bathtub sex scenes (which could be pretty dangerous in a movie about combustible water, come to think of it).
As entertaining as that sounds, the execution is even better. The practical effects and pyrotechnics are all on point and the film has a wonderfully nasty sense of humor I really appreciated. I have no idea why this isn’t a bigger 90s cult favorite, other than the fact that it was planned as a theatrical release and then got dumped on home video. Seek it out.
