Slick, watchable package of well-blended elements

Rating: 9/10 (16 June 2002)

A slick, very watchable package where the elements are blended very well. Fine action sequences; well-composed scenes and sets; excellent pacing; commendable camera work (even during dialogue scenes); entertaining score; decent acting; and an engaging plot that doesn't leave you wondering nor overtly show its hand. Plus, they made sure it wasn't a total guy flick -- the B&G is limited, there are no bimbo babes, hot rod wagons or far-out techno tools, and no over-the-top fight sequences.
