A film with ADD

Rating: 4/10 (3 February 2005)

I saw this the other day, and enjoyed the mystery and action sequences, as they were fun and imaginative. Howevery I have to say that despite having so many heavy hitting actors in this film the portrayals are all sub-par, and each of the characters seem to have the maturity level of teenagers. I have no problem with an action film, but look at the "chemistry scenes" between Cage and Kruger, she shouts once at him, and suddenly that's a defining character trait, she calls him dumb, and he says she's swearing at him? I don't know what hit the cutting room floor, but it must be a whole lot more character development otherwise the characters are almost all written as juvenile, judgmental, and rash.
