It may SEEM like a crap, B movie - but it AINT!

Rating: 9/10 (3 October 2002)

When I first saw the trailer on the cinema I thought it was going to be another crappy film based on a book - but as there was nothing else on I went to see it! I was so pleased that I did!
The film is a cross between Mission Impossible 1 (but without ANY of the ludicrous plot twists/masks etc), Ronin (the way in which it is filmed) and Frantic. But with all the good action bits of James Bond!

The female lead is believable without being the usual dozy token female.

Matt Damon is great as the action hero with a conscience.
But perhaps the best bit of the film is the car chase! That is just SOOO cool! With an obvious nod to The Italian Job - it is just THE best car chase since that film or perhaps The French Connection!
So, just go and see it - but don't ask too many questions or you'll see how ridiculous the premise actually is!
