Played to perfection!

Rating: Null/10 (7 June 2000)

I've just watched this again on DVD and this film is perfect! The action is flawless, the dialogue er.. fitting, but the best is the acting. Good acting in an action film! Who'd have thought it possible?
Alan Rickman has to be the best cinema villain ever, with the most convincing German accent (yes, I know I go on about accents) ever. Bruce Willis is particularly good - you may be used to him as an action guy now, but this film came out when he was better known for his role in 'Moonlighting'. What a contrast!
The only bit I didn't like was when Bruce gives that schmaltzy speech to the cop (fast-forward through that one). Everything else is... (I'll say it again) perfect!
