When I started watching this I did not expect much. The first 10 minutes were a bit 'eh' but then the story began to grip. This under rated action thriller is really good- the plot involved some intricacies that pushed the limit of realism yet one could still suspend disbelief. The action is perfectly modulated by moments of near stillness; the casting choices could not have been better. In a less talented directors hands the finale could have come off as a bit dopey but here it works- somehow. The plot eerily foreshadows the 9-11 tragedy yet this film is still appropriate for the whole family. For the naysayers out there you have remember that this movie is not trying to be more than something it isn't- it just IS. So grab some popcorn, sit down, and enjoy.
