snipes is back!

Rating: Null/10 (12 January 1999)

Wow, Wesley Snipes can act! and better, he can fight good enough to tame the Steven Seagel hype that somehow still lingers around Hollywood nowadays. The film has some awesome special effects; my favorite is the lighting used in the movie. I would probably recommend this movie to someone simply because of the opening scene--a tour de force in movie-making, at least in this genre. Fighting, shooting, fire--it's all there. Dorff puts in a good performance as the bad guy and Kristofferson ,as Snipe's almost-paternal sidekick, Whistler,does too.
Not bad, for a re-adaption of a comic strip, which, needless to say, there are just too many floating around nowadays.
