Good overall, but something's missing...

Rating: 8/10 (3 June 2000)

No doubt that this is a good movie. The script is a bit too predictable. It needed more plot twists and surprises.
Action was great, but most action sequences ended prematurely. If you are a fan of John Woo, you can tell that the action was toned down to get a PG-13 rating. Rumor has it that Woo and Cruise both loved the original cut, but it would have received an R rating. Around twenty minutes of violence was cut out. Those twenty minutes would have been pure bliss for a John Woo fan! Hopefully that original version will resurface on the DVD (hint...hint... if they didn't make the DVD yet). Great movie otherwise, but the possibilty of the full version leaves a person unsatisfied with the theaterical release.
