Great action moive

Rating: 10/10 (24 December 1999)

It's a great action movie I've ever seen. Although I'd watched it quite long time from now, the screenplay, action and the tricks are still freshly in my memory. I like it not just because the arresting actors did a extremely good job, but also the tense story. Many may complaint that the stories of action films are usually too simple or even idiotic. Actually, this one is no exception. However, I, in my opinion, like its beauty of simplicity very much. It just gives the viewers more room for experiencing the exciting mood without being busy in understanding all the complicated things or details which may , in certain extent, help the story to be appeared more logical and smooth.
I hadn't expected that this film was so tense that there was no one climax, which is usually supposed to be shown at the end of the film, but it put you in all time excitement right from the start. The trapping in the elevator, the sequences of challenges faced in the bus (such as the murderer in the bus, the wound of the bus driver, the appearance of the baby cart in the road, the cliff that they've to across, the danger in running out petrol in bus..etc), and finally the fighting in the train are all qualified as a high tidal wave in the film in my point of view.
Besides all these, the music is really surprisingly outstanding. It's simple but it fit the picture and mood so much. It helped me to concentrate on seeing this film and also it's now helping me to remember every detail of the moive.
