Underrated

Rating: Null/10 (29 November 2001)

Im having a hard time understanding how so many people choose to over-analyse instead of taking this film for what it is; Entertainment. It never tries to be anything but entertainment, and it deserves to be criticised as such, not as some new attempt at Schindlers list.
Yes, Wesley Snipes is a p***-poor actor. Yes there are s**tloads of plotholes and incoherency with the science/supernatural stuff. Yes he looks dead silly in that armor getup.
So what? What you're missing out on is a wicked soundtrack, very well executed camerawork, fight scenes echoing hong kong cinema nicely, some astonishing set pieces and the best kid-pitch ever seen on film!
I love films by directors such as Akira Kurosawa, David Lynch, Steven Spielberg (of course) and Stanley Kubrick, but i dont see why my love for so-called "intelligent" cinema should shadow out the school of filmmaking known as entertainment :P
Sit down with friends, 5 gallons of coke and enough candy to blow your teeth to shreds in a matter of minutes, pop this one on and just be mindlessly indulgent. Its fun.
