Kevin Bacon and Susan Sarandon were great together. I was seriously on the edge of my seat when Bacon screamed his now-famous line, "You've got to get me over that mountain!"
The explosions and screams were a bit much at points, but I loved it. Warning: It gets a little intense. Not sure I agree with the R rating, though.
Fun fact: I wasn't even supposed to see this movie back in 1995 when it came out, but the guy on Moviefone did such a good job pitching it that I decided to take the plunge. That Moviefone guy was awesome.
Anyway... carry on.
