A very enjoyable action film.

Rating: 9/10 (10 June 2000)

I'll be the first to admit that the movie had some of the standard action film cliches that get on my nerves (Cruise using pistols against men with machine guns, blowing up cars with carefully placed pistol shots, etc...) but the movie still had an excellent pacing to it that I found very exciting.
John Woo certainly knows how to make action films.
If it wasn't for some of the unrealistic action film cliches mentioned above, the movie would have gotten a 10 rating from me. As it stands I will rate this movie a solid 9. I found it to be very enjoyable even with the stupid flaws that many action films make.
