Best of 2000

Rating: 9/10 (10 July 2000)

I think this one takes the cake for 2000. Great realistic action sequences (MI-2 'cartoonish' action directors take note), very plausible story line undiluted by the special effects, and an excellent lead-actor who carries the film from beginning to end. This is no-mistakes, original movie-making, pity that others will have to copy from this model and cheapen their efforts.
