nice try, better than the last. but lacking. (jaboo)

Rating: 5/10 (29 May 2000)

the setting: first showing monday morning 5/29/00 and the theater was half full at best. that made it the perfect environment, you can stretch out and relax. i went into this theater with out the influence of critics, also.

from the opening scenes to the credits i saw something that has become quite typical of movies lately. shall i say computer enhanced stunts/action sequences. you know the ones that im talking about, they just dont look natural... which leaves the scene feeling somewhat empty and not believable.
and since there where many scenes of this nature in the film it left the whole film feeling somewhat empty. also the background music didnt flow together, so every time it changed you noticed. almost at level of being distracting.
the biggest laugh of the movie i got was the motorcycles that magically changing tires from smooth street tires to the dirt bike style, and then to have the camera focusing on them. i personally expected more out of WOO. none the less the film was entertaining, i didnt leave screaming and i can appreciate what cruise did for the film, actually seeing the actors face in the action/stunt sequences where nice. (jaboo if your out there contact me)
