Very solid.

Rating: 8/10 (7 May 2002)

A very solid movie across the board. To start with, Bruce Willis is in a role that complements him very well. I believe he has found his niche in roles such as this, The Sixth Sense, and the Jackal. Robin Penn Wright's performance is very credible, but oh so different then The Princess Bride, which in reality is how I'll always see her. To her credit, I did not think of that movie once while watching this one. My only problem with the acting is in Samuel Jackson's role, but not with his acting. This may be just me being too used to the over the top nature of his other roles, but I just expected more from his role, but then again, if there was too much from his role it may have overshadowed the rest of the movie. I do love the fact that Eamonn Walker is given a role in the film, as he is one of my personal favorites. Technically speaking, a very solid film, that conveys the story well without anything getting in the way of the story. DVD is also solid, with an interesting piece on comic books, and a deleted scenes section with commentary from the director on why they were cut.
