''Then-struggling actor Kevin Costner auditioned for the part of Nick Hurley but lost out to Michael Nouri. He was the runner-up for the part.''

Ok, he was not what he is today but still, this is like ''Bruce Willis lost out to Steven Seagal'' this is anything. With better acting, this movie will be watchable !

I can see that. Costner has a very unassuming way about him in many of his roles. He's a shucks guy. And Nouri is the head of the Moussad.

Ha ha....steller, that's exactly what I came to post about Costner - that in the scene when Alex starts giving Michael Nouri a footjob in the restaurant, I can just see Costner - "well shucks, your foot just rubbed against my penis - oh, that was your intention? Golly!"
