Slightly above average, but forced plot & many holes

Rating: Null/10 (30 July 2004)

I saw this movie at a preview in New York last night and I give this a 6 out of 10, which in my book means above average but not a great movie. Overall entertaining, the acting is excellent and the feel of the film is good, but the overall plot is weak and the film bogs down into mediocrity. There are too many coincidences and actions that don't make sense. The story is also just not that interesting. This movie reminds be a bit of a Falling Down, Grand Canyon or Changing Lanes (which takes place in NY, but similar ideas).
Some action, some good dialogue, some deep comments about society and the nature of people. OK entertainment for an evening, but you will forget about the film quickly.
