Product Description

At 8 a.m. on Monday, 12 banks will electronically deposit a total of $120 million in Noah Stone's business account. By 8:01, Stone may be penniless.

Treat Williams plays Stone in this breathless, plugged-in thriller written by Robert Rodat (Saving Private Ryan). Two months ago, Stone suffered a heart attack; what he's going through now won't be found in any doctor's stress-reduction regime. A mobster (Saul Rubinek) aims to use Stone's company as a front in a computerized embezzlement scheme. Do or die is the threat. And over the space of one fierce, frenetic weekend, Stone does. High-tech subterfuge is a game two can play. And what Stone does assisted by family (Kim Cattrall as wife Kim and Carroll O'Connor as Uncle Jack O'Malley) and friends turns the mob's payday into payback.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great action and suspense and the Dad is the hero!, November 2, 1999

By	Connie Kersten (Danbury CT) - See all my reviews

Recovering from a heart attack Noah (Treat Williams)doesn't know what his brother is doing to the company he's spent his life building. The brother is into the mob for some heavy debts and has a scam arranged to bankrupt the company in return for his life. When Noah stumbles onto this plan he and his friends figure out a great way to turn the tables on the mob. Action and suspense all the way. AND you can watch it with everyone-- the hero actually loves his wife and family and learns that they are more important than being a workaholic at his business.

5.0 out of 5 stars A movie with people to cheer for., July 16, 2001

By A Customer

I avoided this movie because the title sounded like an old PI mystery. Happily, I was wrong. This movie is more like a good football game when your favorite team takes on the odds-on favorite. It's well writen and has charatars to love and route for. Saul Rubinek is a villain so charming and evil you just love hating him and watching him fall. During the final performances of Carroll O'Conner's life he played tough, big hearted guy who would do anything to protect his loved ones. (He played the same type of charatar in "Return to Me. Another movie which I reconmend.) In this movie he is wonderful playing "Balls" O'Malley.
