      Jake Mellows: And ypu, you cow, you hired people to make it look real... make me look like a prat!

      Lela Forin: That wasn't so hard to do?

      Jake Mellows: I want my money!

      Lela Forin: You gambled most of it away. They kept you in debt so you couldn't walk away.

      Jake Mellows: They still owe me half a million!

      Lela Forin: They never intended to pay you.

      Jake Mellows: Yeah, well, they forget who I am!

      Lela Forin: They know exactly who you are, Jake, a washed-up, desparate action man who doesn't know he's past his prime.

      Jake Mellows: Me! Past my prime! No actor is ever past his prime. Look, look at Jessica Tandy in "Driving Miss Daisy!"

    An average thriller, it does get a couple yawns
    I love Michael Keaton, but let's face it, the man hasn't done much since such classics as Batman and Johnny Dangerously. I'm still looking for a Michael movie that catches my eye because he is such a hidden talent. Quicksand is just like the others, average and nothing special as well as poorly written. It actually had potential to have suspense and an edge on your seat type of thrill ride, but ends up like most thrillers, because if you've seen the big shockers, then you have pretty much from that point see the rip offs. The acting is OK and the ending? Not so much to do with, this was an amateur movie and an insult to both Michaels. Let's hope for better improvements in the future!
