Very Entertaining

Rating: 8/10 (18 January 2003)

I initially saw this movie to see what Jonathan Mostow could do with a big budget movie, since he is directing Terminator 3: Rise of The Machines.
After watching Breakdown I knew he could capture the audience members in suspense. And after watching U-571, I know he can do action sequences very well.
One thing that seemed to be flawed though, was the pacing of the movie. Certain parts seemed to drag, certain parts seemed rush and overall, it felt like, I knew 2 hours have pasted, but in the movie made me feel like everything took place in 30 minutes.
Overall, throughly entertaining and now have no doubt, Mostow has the talent to make a very entertaining movie, but can he capture the emotion, pace and heart of The Terminator series? On July 2, 2003 we will find out if Mostow will pass the ultimate test of his career.
8/10
