Incisive Thriller
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
Like a sword: double-sided blade and sharp edges - or duplicity and recklessness. Like many films nowadays this one breaks with the rules of cinema-ethic: most of the protagonists are bad guys (in a way or another) and get away with it. Here however it can appear disturbingly reckless and cold-blooded at times. Evil is in fashion nowadays.
The film gives a good start and grasps all your attention right at the outset, but it runs a little out of puff and recourses to some thrilling-stunt-crutches to keep up near the ending.
Travolta is very at ease in this mythic criminal role and brings a suave wiliness to the film. Special wink to Camryn Grimes for her witty noticeable touch.
To sum it up, there’s a bit of cheap effects and maybe a lack of substance, but taken as an entertainment most of it is breathtaking.
