Review
This film was everything that many action thrillers are not. For one the action really was thrilling at times. The story was well written and directed and for a film that wasnt really "over the top" by action movie standards there were many tense moments to enjoy. But what struck me the most was the cast. I mean this is about as good a list of actors that you will ever find in one movie and they all deliver just as you would expect from all this talent. Its truly one of the most exciting movies that Ive seen in some time.
