Perfect casting

I can't see anyone else playing the hero and the villain. Stallone and Snipes were perfect. I used to think this movie would've been perfect for Stallone and Schwarzenegger. But I can't see Schwarzenegger as Simon Phoenix. I can see Arnold playing a bad guy. Just not Phoenix. And Wesley Snipes was perfect. The role of Simon Phoenix is one of my favorites that Wesley Snipes has done in his career.

I also have to say that I'm so glad Sandra Bullock replaced Lori Petty. Lori Petty would've never worked in the role and I can't see her as a love interest for Stallone. Good move by them replacing her. I thought Sandra Bullock had good chemistry with Stallone. Almost as good as her chemistry with Keanu.

I agree. It had perfect casting including Bullock. Its rare that a movie get the main cast correct. There is noone i would like to see replaced.

All of them seem to have fun, and it shows. Must have been alot of laughter during filming of this movie because all the funny scenes.
