Be prepared to be marvelled and thrilled!

Rating: Null/10 (2 January 2007)

I am quite amazed by this film. Right from the beginning, we already get an adrenaline rush by a deathly chase on a crane miles up in the sky. Then there are numerous explosions, shootings and fights. The mega budget can easily be seen, from luxurious resorts to buildings collapsing or oil tankers exploding. Something is going on every second.
The editing is very tight. Each scene shows only what viewers need to see, and no more. There are no elaborate shots, as each shot only exists to tell us a bit of information. Due to this tight editing, the pace is very very quick, and the action is very fast moving. The result is that the film is very condensed, very action packed. It keeps me on the edge most of the time! The story is simple and yet has enough suspense to keep viewers interested. The ending is a bit confusing, as there are far too many twists. Anyway, the point of watching this film is to be entertained and be marvelled. The film achieved both of these aims.
