Pure (and i do mean PURE) Action!!!

Rating: 8/10 (17 July 2000)

This is one of the best action movies i've seen! It's got action and lot's of it. John Woo (the director) did a wonderfull job of accomplishing what he does best - giving us more and more action. He likes to film things slow mode (so i've heard) and maybe it's because he doesn't wants us to miss it if we blink. He has proven himself to be a great action director in this movie and in his previous Hit movie "Face/Off". Though the action shown is not always realistic it's always fun to watch. And even if u don't like it u just have to ask yourself "how did he do it???" This movie was good - if you like PURE ACTION and don't mind that it's un-realistic at times (most of the times). The main charecter that was played great by Tom cruise (who also did the stunts by himself including the first scene with the mountain climbing). He jumps, bounces, shoots, hits, and showing us how brilliant he is (both charachter and actor).
Of course - like evry movie this one have it's down-sizes. I.E: the plot is a lot similar to other action movies. Someone steals a mass destruction weapon and uses it to get money.
Been there - Done that! And sure - the action parts are clearly unrealistic and people who like realistic films will leave this one with a little sense of disappointment.
But still - Great directing from John Woo and great acting from Tom Cruise and his co-actress. And like i said before - If you like action and don't care about it being realistic - This is a movie you have to see!!!
