interesting but patchy

Rating: Null/10 (28 January 2002)

I haven't seen the original film of which this is a remake, but what the hell. Terrific opening scene of a empty Manhattan. Cruise, Diaz (and Kurt Russell) are well worth watching, but this is a film let down by a mediocre script, abysmal incidental musak (really, I though someone had left a 'phone on hold by the microphone _all_ the time), and unappealing performances by the rest of the cast.
