We know they won't get killed, so not much suspense, but it's ok. A lot of it's mainly just the three guys in the van, on their way to the villain's hideout. The bit with the elderly gas station attendent had some nice tension, but to anyone who's watched any cop/adventure shows over the past 30 years will seem awfully familiar.
Ed and Eve don't do much but wring their hands trying to find their kidnapped compatriots.
The rogue cop also played Mister Seven on the Star Trek original series episode "Assignment Earth".
