male version of La Femme Nikita

Rating: Null/10 (17 June 2002)

If you have seen and like La Femme Nikita and the various Bond flicks, then you will like BI. It is sort of a male version of La Femme Nikita (the original French version is better than the USA version with Bri Fonda). Good action scenes that don't really jump the shark until the very end. Good thing they didn't give Franka Potente any real lines and character to work with, otherwise, she would spin circles around the ever-flat Matt Damon. If you read my reviews, you know I rate movies into three bins: Must-see in theatre, Ok for a video rental, Waste of time. BI rates OK-video. But I didn't feel badly having spent $10 to see it in the theatre. 6/10
