A lot more than its commercials.

Rating: 10/10 (26 November 2001)

When I saw the commercials for this and even after my brother said it was a better film than he thought it would be, it wasn't until he actually rented it for me that I realized this movie was nothing like its commercials lead on. I was expecting a modernized version of the 70's Kung-fu movies, but with the added "Go out and stomp some schmuck off the streets" message to it.
I was not expecting it to be a thought out story where someone took the time to hide an actually good moral in the entertainment. Tyler's true intentions are explained when he tells Jack why he sent the convenience store clerk home. If you are reading this, you probably already saw it, but if you have not and are just curious, I say it is definitely worth the time, if you are in for a multi-layered movie that can mix immediate audio and visual stimulus as well as a lasting story line that you can scrutinize over for a long time to come. And if not for any of these reasons, there are probably more "Good" Memorable Quotes in this movie than you could use in a year.
