I generally bypass the whole over-the-top action films. With Direction by Ang Lee, and starring Will Smith, I thought I'd give it a try. I am happy with my choice to watch this one.
Yeah, the script wasn't awesome, but it was far from failing. The story itself had many predictable aspects to it, but I was able to overlook them. The various settings, and the cinematography were very good. The motorcycle chase was clever and well done. They did a fine job with the cloned version of Will.
If you're looking for really high-tech, CGI and special effects, you'll be disappointed. What I DID like was that the special effects were NOT over the top and dominant. I could actually see the action/ fight/ chase scenes and know what was going on. There is just a bit of "Crouching Tiger" types of moves in the final fight scenes. Not so much as to mess with me too much.
It was a nice surprise for me. I didn't expect much, but it turned out to be a fun little trip.
