- action script I've ever read. The movie is pretty good, but not nearly as good as the script. For one thing, an entire subplot involving snuff films was dropped, and the reason that the Bruce Willis character lost his job as a Secret Service Agent was also changed (in the script, it involved him punching out the smug son of a senator who was involved in a fatal drunk-driving accident that the Willis character happens upon), and the ending of the script involved a really great speed-boat chase. Apparently, the speed-boat chase was rewritten at the zero hour when the budget was slashed due to the failure of Willis' HUDSON HAWK, and it's a damn shame, it would've been a great action set-piece to end the film.
