Sexist, predictable, violent, egotistic

Rating: 4/10 (25 May 2000)

I laugh at my tag line, cause it could be used for quite a few movies I've seen this year. I'll sum up like this:
-there is only 1 woman in the movie who immediately sleeps with the main character and then acts stupid and dependent for the rest of the movie. Overkill on the close ups of her big eyes, and sweet innocent-yet-sexy look.
-the predictibility was so bad I laughed. Like the gun laying at Cruise's feet, in the sand right when he needs it. They also overdid it with the switching people with masks tricks.
-I like other Woo films, but there was a lot of shooting, death and violence in this one. I prefer martial arts to guns.
-Cruise looked like he was on an ego trip the whole movie.
-no character development, an OK plot, mostly just a hard core action film.
Should've seen the new Woody Allen film instead.
