Woo?

Rating: Null/10 (26 June 2001)

The teasers and trailers for this film were great. Maybe the best trailer of the Year 2000. But the film, right from its beginning scene, is quite 'cheap'. No effort has been placed anywhere in the film, except on making our stars (Cruise & Newton) look good, and making our all the action scenes look as real and daring as possible. Now, if you're a Van Damme fan, then you should love this. It's pure B-Grade material re-done by an A-Grade crew. We have all A-Grade names here. Woo, Cruise, Hopkins and even poor old Hans Zimmer who had little time to work on the score. No wonder the score ended up sounding like a greatest hits collection from Zimmer's previous works. So, bottomline is: If you want B-Grade entertainment, A-Grade style... Then this is your ride.
