typical John Woo cheese

Rating: 6/10 (24 May 2000)

yeah, so there are some slick action scenes, but a lot of them are unbeleivable and too fake looking. in addition, the dramatic sequences are uncalled for-- pure Velveeta. Thandie Newton does look hot, which is a plus, but her striking looks can't cover up what is essentially a disappointing movie. it is somewhat entertaining, but falls far short of the hype. i gave it a generous 6.
