Ok, but not great

Rating: Null/10 (31 January 2002)

I can't figure out why people are going gaga over this movie. From a technical standpoint, its solid. The fighting scenes are exciting and well executed. But beyond that, what is there to like? There is no social context to speak of. The characters are one-dimensional. The story itself is frusturating and uninspiring. I was hoping for something patriotic and uplifting, but got neither.
