John Woo's direction almost makes up for cheesy choices

Rating: 5/10 (24 May 2000)

Overall this wasn't that bad a movie, but there were just too many times I groaned or unintentionally laughed at something going on. It's about as good as the first one, even though it's not very similar to it. Dougray Scott tried too hard to be evil, and the script gave him some bad lines. I love seeing Anthony Hopkins in anything, but his screen time totaled probably five minutes. Ving Rhames had a lot less to do this time around than he did in the first one.
