Not all I wanted to see...

Rating: 5/10 (15 October 2003)

Sure, it looks great, and the action scenes are very well done and well shot. But the dialogue is appalling. For one thing the women aren't terribly believable in their roles. Especially Lucy Liu, she isn't believable as a villian at all. Uma Thurman is a great actress but her part isn't written very well. The best part of the movie is the anime sequence. There's much more emotion in that then there is in the live action stuff. The writing here is not nearly as good as "Pulp Fiction" or "Resevoir Dogs".
5 out of 10
