I did enjoy the film all right. I didn't hafta change my pants or anything, but it was put together fairly competently. I can't quite specify what it was, but I just felt that something was missing from this movie. Technically and overall acting wise it was fine I guess. I suppose it must've been just the basic development of the story; it's one of those films where afterward if you truly think about it a little, and I DO mean 'a little', you kinda wonder how people knew things and why the characters did what they did and what the HELL were the main motivations anyway...
I don't mean that this is one of those films where they seem GREAT at the time and then afterward you maybe see plot holes or questionable logic, but you say 'Hey, that was still a great film!' No, not quite... This one is a couple of notches below that. You CAN enjoy it okay, but to me anyway, a lot of it does not really flow logically.
There IS one thing though which is TOTALLY B*tch'n, and that is the song that plays over the closing credits, which grabbed me by the nuts mercilessly (which is not NECESSARILY a bad thing...) and I said to myself 'WHO THE HELL IS THAT?!!!' Well, I patiently waited until the end of the credits, when they usually get to the songs, and this one was written and played by none other than RUSH's Alex Lifeson! (sp?) DAMN good song! Doesn't sound like RUSH, but REALLY put together well and is totally awesome! Sort of like how John Paul Jones solo album doesn't really sound like LED ZEPPELIN, but it hits you as VERY strong : ) So, yeah, a passable movie that you probably won't regret taking the time to see. But, definitely NOT among the upper echelons of this kind of film... Probably one of the rare times where IMDb's rating has it about right (6)
