a good action movie

Rating: 7/10 (20 October 2002)

Like most true action movies this one had virtually no plot and a lot of action scenes. The action scenes in this movie were a little different from the standard fare which is what made this a good "ride". The opening car chase scene could have been really awesome if filmed differently but the rest of the action and fight sequences were very good.
It isn't an Oscar contender so don't expect a story, much less an elaborate one that goes into extensive details about every thing that happens. Most action movies don't have a story outside of "here's a bad guy, here's a hero foiling the bad guy, many people and things get damaged, destroyed, and/or killed along the way, The End". This isn't any different.
It definitely wasn't near as good as The Professional nor was it really that type of movie. It definitely was better than The Fifth Element which wasn't worth the celluloid it was distributed on. I liked this film a little better than xXx and I liked xXx.
