Review: the film 's lack of personality 
Sentiment: negative

Review: from its cheesy screenplay 
Sentiment: negative

Review: because the movie serves up all of that stuff , nearly subliminally , as the old-hat province of male intrigue 
Sentiment: negative

Review: that the film comes off winningly , even though it 's never as solid as you want it to be 
Sentiment: positive


Review: nothing 's at stake , just a twisty double-cross you can smell a mile away -- still , the derivative nine queens is lots of fun .
