REVIEW
This action...( read more)-thriller had great balance for its genre and an appropriate for once set-up in character development for the relational element of this movie that was of particular importance. The balance of drama, action, mystery, and sprinklings of humor made for a nicely editing, paced movie that started slow but kept building to a nice simmer. John Travolta brings some of his Pulp Fiction, French's McDonald's Big Mac back to the screen once again. The action duo in this movie has a biting chemistry that has a discordant sparkle that is refreshing. While in some ways the plot is pretty straight forward with a decent twist, the movie remained solidly on course with plenty of action, except the lazily designed chase scene with evenly placed cars once again (as found in a multitude of chase scene movies), and has an emotionally potent climax by the end of the movie. This is an above average action-thriller that is worth seeing.
