Surprisingly excellent

Rating: 10/10 (24 April 2006)

What can I say about this film. I must admit that I did not see this at the cinema, in fact I watched in on DVD for the first time. To be honest I wasn't really expecting much, and what I saw from trailers etc. I did not think that this film would be to my liking. I thought that it might be high on style but low on substance. How wrong was I, when I watched the film everything all fitted into place, it wasn't about Keanu Reeves trying to look cool, it has got a lot more going for it, including some excellent twists and turns that took me by complete surprise. Some of these twists were so good that I had to evaluate what was going on at least once. One of the very few action films that can be classed as being intelligent as well as good fun.
