Excellent 2 out of 2.5 hours

Rating: 7/10 (20 April 2003)

My only problem with this film is one that is often heavily over-used in modern action adventures, and it's a shame to see it so abused in this movie. Slow motion. Way way way way too much of the final action scene is in incessant slow motion. It's rare to see a film use it in only the most appropriate places, but it's also rare to see a film use it THIS much. It's overbearing, and has completely tainted the ending of the movie for me. I interrupted watching the final scene just to come and enter this review - that's how bad it is. I would have given this movie 1 or 2 more points if it wasn't for the excessive slow-mo.
