625.0. "Lightning Jack" by NETRIX::michaud (Dundee) Thu Sep 01 1994 23:42

	This one stars Paul Hogan, Cuba Gooding Jr., and Beverly D'Angelo.

	It's billed as a comedy, but the laughs are few and far in-between.
	Hogan plays the outlaw Lightning Jack Kane.  During one bank
	robbery the gang Jack was a member of is wiped out by the well
	armed town folks.  So Jack tried robbing banks by himself.  When
	he does, he fowels thing up and ends up taking a hostage (Gooding),
	who just happens to be mute.  The hostage then wants to join
	Jack's gang.  D'Angelo plays a hooker, and Jac's love interest.

	The box says "... the most-wanted movie you won't want to miss."
	Well if you miss this one, don't feel you've missed much .......

    It was o.k. - it did have a few really good laughs with Cuba Gooding
    Jr. doing some major scene stealing :^) but over all just about worth
    the price of a rental.
