Innovative, thought provoking, and brilliantly entertaining.

Rating: 9/10 (21 June 2007)

There is no story giveaway here, just short description of a shot.
This film is incredibly well made and innovative. The whole action sequence filmed in the car is awe-inspiring from a film-making point of view - that is never before seen choreography and blending of acting, camera movement, stunts and special effects. The special effects are flawless throughout. The music and sound effects are pure quality. Only a few criticisms: 1) Some acting is pretty bad (but not the main characters, Clive Owen and Michael Caine are brilliant). 2) I felt the small blood splatter on the camera wasn't effective, it detracted the attention. 3) It was too short; it needs a sequel to build on more of the story.
