Wesley Snipes Maria Matiko Anne Archer |
This film is violent, packs a punch and doesn’t really let up, save for a couple of downtimes in the middle. The director’s style is slick, very lively, a man who obviously enjoys the over-the-head shots and doesn’t mind utilizing the infamous MATRIX bullet zoom effect for added wattage either. The high tech game is another one that generally appeals to me, so enjoy I did the many cooky technological gadgeteries utilized by Snipes in his pursuit of the bad guys. It’s funny because I actually feel like I’m defending this movie in my review and I guess that could only mean one thing…yup, guilty-pleasure syndrome!! Perhaps it’s because I know that deep-down inside the film won’t hold up under closer scrutiny, doesn’t leave much room for unpredictability and washes its clothes in the same machine as many of the others, but what can I tell you…I enjoyed it! So if action is what you’re looking for, this flick should just about cover your bases. And the reason I haven’t mentioned either Michael Biehn or Donald Sutherland in this review is because either one doesn’t really have much to do in this film. But love it or leave it, I think we can all agree that Wesley Snipes is one charismatic actor who continues to hold your attention, no matter what the circumstances. And the Art of this Review is coming up with a typically idiotic play on the title way of finishing it off… 🙂
