Hypnotic Entertainment

Rating: 9/10 (9 May 2004)

This has to be one of the most entertaining films I have seen in a long time and I can't understand why it is being critically ripped to shreds. I was so engrossed in this film that I forgot about where I was and what I was doing. I was constantly captured by climax after thrilling climax!! The storyline was slightly vague, but it really didn't matter, as the stunning effects and fight sequences are a please to any movie-goer. This film was really created for pure escapism, a chance to exit reality, and it does this perfectly. It exceeded all expectations I had of the film (before I saw it, I thought that it was going to be distinctly average)and it has the hypnotic ability to grasp the audiences attention in practically every scene. It keeps at a constant mind-blowing pace throughout it's 2hr duration. This has been crafted to perfection. I am thoroughly impressed.
