Unbearable!

Rating: 3/10 (1 December 2002)

I went to see this movie not expecting much more than a movie full of good ol' fashioned car chases with expensive cars being blown to pieces. However, except for the first bank robbery chase, this movie does not have enough masterful driving actions to make up for Jason Statham's unbearable tough guy posturing and Qi Shu's horribly wooden acting. Furthermore, the baddies are laughably two-dimensional and predictable.
I wanted to leave half way through the movie, yet the thought that I might see a burning Porsche colliding with a TGV (which I did not, to my disappointment) was the only thing that glued me to my seat.
If you want a good car chase movie set in beautiful European scenery, forget this one, and go get yourself a copy of Ronin.
