Underrated action movie that cannot escape that late twentieth century style of combining violent thrills and hard-boiled criminals with a patina of aloof detachment and self consciousness. Sometimes it works well (Tarantino/Rodriguez/Rami) but it is a tricky conceit and you have to be a talent to pull it off. Often the style fails miserably, but not here.
While not in the same league as films directed by the above mentioned, this one has enough attraction to keep it from failing. It is an entertaining romp with a good story and is not brought down by some soggy script development and a couple of over the top, completely out there, characters (F.B.I. Agent and some assorted cartoon villains).
Overall this one is overlooked as one of the better of this type of thing, a viewer-friendly cross gender popcorn picture, and is worth a view.
