Does the director know what he wants?

Rating: Null/10 (26 May 2000)

The first 20 minutes are as if Woo is not sure whether to make a love story or an action movie... flamenco dances, and slow songs with flirting glances... HEY, I'm here for the action, not to watch a love story! Later, the movie does pick up speed... the action sequences are good... kind of stretched it out a bit too far with the motor-bike races and car chases, but it's OK! Overall... I'd go for it, but a month later, I'd have forgotten all about it! Not something you'd remember in years to come... like MI-1. Once again, a case of raised expectations because of the media hype! A 5.5 out of 10.
