A classic style thriller, 1 November 2003
9/10
Author: navynasa from Norfolk, VA USA

If one realizes that George Cosmatos meant this story to be told as a '70s style "B" thriller, you will enjoy this movie for its acurate portrayal. When I first tuned to this movie I assumed I was watching somthing from 1977. Only when I saw the age of the famous actors (and the cell phone) did I realize it was set in 1997. The details of style are depicted perfectly, from the split screen focus for foreground and back, to the assasin having 2 different color eyes. The acting is said to be poor, but instead I say it was edited with poorer takes to remain true to the "B" movie genre. If you enjoyed "Patriot Games" or "Pelican Brief" you may feel this story is shallow and weak. I was rivited to this story front to back.
