Rating: 3.0
Good film. But not great!
Wow! I'm glad this movie got Oscars! It was deserved! The best of the year!.....Ooops wait! I was actually thinking of "Traffic" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" (Which showed how politically unfair the Academy Awards were when they both lost best picture to this work of unoriginal, mediocre quality) The fighting scenes are entertaining, but between the action you'll want to fast forward over the unintelligent dialouge and card-board acting. Poor Russell Crowe, who was looked over at the Oscars for his great performance in The Insider and won for a very overrated performance in this (If you watched the Oscars that night you'll know that he knew that as well). Poor Academy voters, who have yet to make up for continuing to let mediocre, non-challenging movies that has the artistic merit of a advertising billboard, win the top awards. It was entertaining! But also very lacking.
