A review from France

Rating: 1/10 (23 February 2006)

First of all, I do not know when the Hollywood guys would get the point, that in France and above all in Paris we do not listen to Edith Piaf while driving cars.
The funniest part of the movie was the scene where the Mossad guy while making love to his wife thinks of PLO terrorists getting killed. Makes me think of supposedly Woody Allen's advice : « To forestall an orgasm I think of my bills ».
As a action movie, this was better than Minority Report and the War of the Worlds. The latter, I suspect was made by the CGI guys while Steven was taking a nap in his ranch.
The action scenes were wonderfully shot and some night scenes made me think of Collateral.
Well that's it. It just stays as a a good thriller. Political message ? You must be kidding. The Farelly brothers's movies carry better drama and psychology.
Eastwood like Spielberg is a good action-movie director. But Eastwood seems to have matured better like a good Bordeaux.
