Predictable but stylistic

Rating: 6/10 (31 May 2000)

I probably would have waited to pay matinee prices instead of full price had I known more. The plot is highly predictable, but the action sequences are fun to watch and very "John Woo" stylized. They are the main reason to see the film and Cruise does look spectacular. Cruise did many of his own stunts and they are impressive, but he learned a few moves which are fun to see at first, but they become over-used. Ving Rhames is fun as always. The movie has some goofs such as the tires on the motorcycles changing during a chase scene, but all in all this is a typical mindless summer movie that just fun to watch.
