Unparalleled fantastic action film.

Rating: 10/10 (3 May 2001)

Where can I start with? What makes me think that this movie is one of the best movies ever? So many things really acting, directing, script, tension, music and tons of action. But as James Bond would say: `First things first', Jan De Bont made his directorial debut in this film, what would be expected from a person with no experience in this matter was a lousy film, with story potential. But happened the opposite, the action scenes are so perfect that sometimes makes us think about nothing else and keep us in the edge of our seat every time we see it. Never leaving the extremely inventive plot behind, it is a movie that actually makes the actors show what they can really do, more than ever before. Sound and special effects were actually over the top and weren't showing us, that they were all that this movie had to give as many movies around show. Finally, I just want to call your attention to the fabulous score composed by Mark Mancina that is one of the best ever on movie industry and is one of the main factors that helps us feel so interested and affected by the movie's action scenes.
I recommend this movie to everyone, no exaggeration, I give it a 9/10.
