Impressed...

Rating: 8/10 (26 December 2001)

Some people may critique this film because of one problem or another. But I have to be frank in that I was surprised how much I liked the film. I watched it because two of my favourite actors are in it (Bruce Willis and Samuel L Jackson). In a nutshell -I really liked it-.

In the beginning of the film you had no idea what was going on. Then once things got rolling you kept thinking, ok now it is going to happen. But of course it did not. So suspense was built up even though it is not a mystery or thriller. The plot kept going at a good pace without being melodramatic or boring.
Some compare this movie to Sixth Sense. But I think that is comparing apples to oranges. Instead I think if any comparison can be drawn then it is to "Twelve Monkeys" (another great Bruce Willis movie).
