I'll be going at least one more time

Rating: 9/10 (25 May 2000)

Seldom have I experienced a film where I've been made to laugh at the audacity of the scenes and at the same time felt a rush of more overwhelming feelings that range from sheer amazement, to breathtaking appreciation to intense levels to fun that all combine to resemble something like "damn that was a great scene". And there's more than enough great scenes flowing together to result in the culmination of a good, if not great, movie.
For all the Bruckheimer/Cage fiascos of recent years, this film goes a long way towards redeeming those sins. Great directing, good acting and a "impossible" story may make you wink back at the screen from time to time but at least you're not wincing. I was too busy smiling with some big eyes and wishing I had the remote for my DVD.
