Overrated but as its moments.

Rating: 7/10 (9 March 2006)

When I first saw this I thought it was great. But since watching it again I see its short comings. Along the way there are some great moments and some great references.
But the references are what also causes the films downfalls. There are way too many and the film eventually becomes just one big in-joke. Thats not to say that the film is complete rubbish and when the references work they really work. It was great to see characters like Earl Mcgraw from From Dusk Till Dawn again. And the action scenes are usually great. With plenty of over the top gore. Some great dialogue and a brilliant soundtrack. But all in all a lot of it falls flat.
Some of the fights also let you down. The fight against Lucy Lui and Vivica Fox feels uncompleted.
Worth watching when its on telly.
