Sweetness

Rating: 7/10 (12 June 2000)

While the story itself was nothing noteworthy, the action was quite amazing, but you can expect nothing less from John Woo. Plenty of explosions, gunfire and flying objects all pieced together with slow-motion camera-work. Tom Cruise, although I saw myself laughing at him at times, did a good job. Needless to say Thandie Newton is hot, and although she was the characteristic "damsel in distress" throughout the entire movie (save for her when you first see her) it was ok, b/c she is hot. Overall a good summer flick: full of action and no thinking involved.
