Not very impressive

Rating: 4/10 (8 March 2006)

I concur with tiemen64 and others with a similar opinion that this movie is full of clichés and not all that original. I guess there's a message that the filmmaker wanted to deliver but it's so shallowly constructed that it left no impact whatsoever.
The biggest problem of this movie is its lack of imagination. Evey character is portrayed with clichéd stereotypes. A fascist dictator has to talk in a certain way with a certain accent, and so on, all incredibly tiresome. This movie is also low on entertainment value. Is it an action film, or a thriller, or a drama? It's a mixture of all of the above but the end result is none of them. Bottom line is the filmmaker tried too hard to be cool but didn't have the talent to deliver. Another case of wasted money and time. Another case of Hollywood mediocrity.
