By far a candidate for the worst production design/editing...

Rating: Null/10 (15 January 2002)

Even if you set aside the scientific flaws and suspend disbelief, the production is by far the worst of an action movie.
When Willis chases Affleck on the oceanic oil rig in the inept opening scene, camera angles of the chase are very choppy; thank goodness for the creation of digital slow-mo on DVD because one frame reveals perfectly well that the "rig" is a little closer inland - probably near a studio backlot.
However, the sound editing is what really boggled up the movie. I don't know if it was the quality of my speakers but whenever an explosion occurred in the movie there was a static hum in the background, or the sound seemed dimmer than it should be.
The cast wasn't given much to work with. Bruce Willis played the thug he always plays, Steve Buscemi makes the best he can with a bad script and his signature neurotic pedophile roles. And Liv Tyler proves that nepotism is an excellent alternative to a day job in Hollywood.
And as for "action": If waiting for an insect to get lodged into a Venus fly trap is time well worth-waiting, then put this flop on your list of exciting must-sees.
