good but not excellent

Rating: 8/10 (25 May 2000)

The opening scene is the best in the film.If the film managed to sustain the excitement and thrills of the first 10 minutes or so it would have been a masterpiece.But it unfortunately fails to do so.After the awesome opening battle scene the film goes downhill.The fight sequences are hardly groundbreaking in a time of huge special effects.It also tries to show a serious face which contrasts with other things in the film.But at the end this film is worth seeing.
