An exercise of style over substance.

Rating: Null/10 (5 February 1999)

Three things came to mind when I first watched this flick: great action sequences, flashy direction (courtesy of Brian DePalma) and an otherwise impenetrable plot that does not make sense. Nevertheless, I was gravely disappointed by the true identity of the main villain...C'MON..it's like having Batman as the main villain. Granted, implausible they may be, the film does have the most exciting action sequences in 1996. But I just can't help the feeling that the film is more of an exercise of style over substance than anything else. (7/10)
