And I thought the first one was bad

Rating: Null/10 (24 May 2000)

I manage a theatre so I see a lot of films for free, so all I have to spend is time. Now I want my time back. It seems at one time there was a good idea going for this film, a hip director and a good screen writer, but something went drastically wrong. This film failed on every level. John Woo's direction seems to be held back by the system that made the film, it has his style but that is all. The plot moves at a snail pace and the action comes in way to late to even begin to make it interesting. Tom Cruise has his "Matrix" on for the fight scenes but in no way did I buy it. It just looked so much like they said lets do a lot of "Matrix" style fighting and it just did not work. Dialog for the most part is horrible and unbelievable. "We just sent a snowball to hell, so lets see if it's got a chance." Please! Goofs abound in this film. Just look at the motorcycle tires during the chase scene, for that matter the cycles themselves go from street bikes to dirt bikes at least four times in that many minutes. So in short do yourself a favor and please do not see this film it will be a huge let down to you and you will want not only you're time back but you're money as well.
