Rating: Null/10 (4 January 2001)

If you're going to watch this film, bear one thing in mind: This is not a movie about realism. If there is any point in your viewing that you find yourself saying "That could never happen," you're not in the right frame of mind to watch this movie.
This is an entertaining showcase of James Bond by way of John Woo - high-speed chases, stuff blowing up, good and evil painted in broad, melodramatic strokes, a couple of nifty gadgets, and lots of people shooting each other and looking cool while doing it.
It's a pity Thandie Newton ends up being so useless, the victim over and over, instead of holding her own. At least she doesn't have to do any nude scenes.
One more thing to be forewarned about in watching this movie - super-realistic latex masks that are really easy to apply and take off.
