Action Packed, Twists And Turns

Rating: 8/10 (28 September 2003)

This movie which got a C+ in our paper should have got at least a B. Very well written script - right on page 30 something happened and right near the end something was resolved. Lots of clever dialogue and I especially liked the Napster angle. There were lots of "cut to the chase" scenes with the best one taking place in the canals of Venice. But, there is major suspension of disbelief in a few places -- just how much DOES $27 million worth of gold bars weigh? And they could FLOAT it UNDERWATER on two rafts? Or the ability to override the cable connection quickly. The last time the cable guy came to my house it took forever to figure out which one of those connections was for MY house. And flying a helicopter into a parking garage; is that in the flight manual somewhere?
