Read the other reviews and they didn't do it any justice. The pace of this film keeps you on the edge of your seat. Vin Deisel was made for this role, like Arnie was made for Terminator. I didn't see an immediate link to Pitch Black the first time I saw it, then realised it was Jack, and pretty much just Jack. The special effects are stunning and the imagination of the writer and director, was amazing. This is one STONKINGLY fast-paced film! I've lost count of how many times I've seen it. Just writing this makes me want to see it again tonight. Watch it for yourself. It'll never age,(But then again neither will I). Five Stonking Stars!
