as cool as it needed to be

Rating: 7/10 (24 May 2000)

People complain about the love story or the cruise-centric nature of the film. Me, I expected and enjoyed all of that. There are some great action sequences, enough cool gags/tech thingies to reward you for all of the suspension of belief, and it was classic, high-style John Woo, but hey, that's what it is supposed to be. It made me glad I had seen Face Off, so that I could be ready for another Woo film with out-there plot and pretty colors. Don't complain to me that Epcot is not as real you thought it would be. Motorcycle chases are cool.
