7/10
Suprisingly good action flick
16 December 2003
The Good:First off,I didn't expect anything from this movie except good action but I got more than that.The acting is what I got and I have to admit it was pretty good,DMX believe it or not was actually acting in this film and made it believable as the father desperate to save his daughter,Gabrielle Union pulled it off as the sexy thief,Jet Li was also good as the undercover agent,and Tom Arnold and Anthony Anderson were incredibly funny in this.The action was crazy in this film it was an adrenaline-pumping ride.

The Bad:The story was good for 2/3 of the film but then the last third turned into a saving the world type of plot,it makes no sense whatsoever then there is the villain who is not intimidating but he is one hell of a fighter,and the music may please those who listen to rap but it won't appeal to everybody.I also like when a movie is based on reality but in this movie everyone is flying doing two kicks in the air but then again this is a movie.

Overall:This a good action flick that is worth seeing if you can suspend your beliefs and leave your brain at the door.
