The film is certainly action packed, and provides decent entertainment. John Travolta also makes for an excellent villain. Unfortunately, the film is just too unrealistic for it to be taken seriously. With guns that seem to fire hundreds of rounds before needing the clips changed, to men with bullet wounds being able to fight completely unrestricted, there are just too many issues of reality to make it a truely great film. But thats Hollywood I guess.

Having said that, if you like a good action film then this is certainly worth a watch, as there are plenty of gun fights, fisticuffs and explosions to keep you watching. Its just a shame that the details weren't worried about.

This film is not outstanding or brilliant, its good. this is mainly because of Travolta, he performs an outstanding kill with a torch xD !! By God that man makes smoking look cool .........

John Woo once again delivers a truly wicked action motion picture. Slater is good but Travolta is class personified. This man really can hold a cigarette. Wow - what a rush!
