**** & Two Thumbs Up!!

Rating: 10/10 (7 April 1999)

I really liked this movie. It had everything an action movie fan could possibly want. Good stunts (done mostly by the cast), sub-par acting, a good storyline, and a good plot. I loved the effects as well. If those effects aren't nominated for an Academy Award then I'm sure that everyone in the Academy is drunk or in serious need of a good butt whooping! I liked the way all the characters and actors seemed to cliche with each other. And I wouldn't be surprised if in the next couple of years we would see "The Matrix 2" out at theaters. Bottom line: it's a martial arts, bullet stopping, roller coaster ride that will leave you breathless (but not wanting it to end) when it's all over. But don't take just my word for it. See it. But see it in a theater with stadium seating or (at least) THX or SDDS equipped in the theater.
