*** out of ****

Rating: 7/10 (7 April 1999)

Although the previews for this film make the movie out to be an action-packed extravaganza, it really wasn't. I was surprised to see all of the best scenes in the movie already show up in the trailers. Nothing much surprised me unfortunately, but I did enjoy the film because of its intriguing plot. It actually seems plausible. I also love the special-effects, although much of the movie was too murky to see anything. They were completely seemless and that's what I loved about this movie. Other than that, it relied a bit on cliches and formulas and the ending was too predictable, that the film wouldn't have suffered at all if it were changed to be more original. It may have actually been better. This film is worth seeing once at least.
