Lots of action, where's the plot?

Rating: Null/10 (12 June 2000)

I read both good and bad reviews about this flick and decided I had to 'see for myself'. Sad to say the plot was a little thin and over used. Come on 'germ warfare' is too trite. There were more than a few inconsistencies in the scheme of the movie that detracted from the fun of the action. An example was the ability of Ethan Hawk to put his countenance on the bad guy's buddy and disguise himself in a matter of seconds. That really was a reach. The dueling motorcycles were a bit melodramatic even for a violence freak such as myself. Come on. However, the special effects were marvelous, simply marvelous. Too bad the lack of a viable plot got in the way of the pyrotechnics. Overall, it was worth a peek if you've already seen all the good movies that are out, which leaves a lot of time for this type movie!
