Could be so much better

Rating: 5/10 (17 April 2000)

Every minute with Robert de Niro (uncomparable) and Sean Connery (solid) is great in this movie; but what a wooden performance of Costner... (And the slow paced book doesn´t help in any way). In total it´s a boring movie with some outstandig good scenes. One scene is so perfect-you might rewind your video: The shooting on the stairway with the little boy is one of the best action scenes I´ve ever seen. (Well, seems that John Woo (>Hardboiled, The Killer) visited the set on the day they´ve done this?!?). 5 of 10 for the rest.
