    Fast and furious
    My wife and I both liked this action thriller, which is a fast-paced, witty road movie about a super assassin (Dacascos) hunted down by his own people, teaming up with Hardison and trying to get to Los Angeles. There's little plot but the action scenes and the dialogue more than make up for that. It was a sort of cross between the Bourne Identity and the Rush Hour films (without all the yelling!), and if you liked those, you will probably like this.

    Murphy's character added some additional female humour to what was otherwise a male-dominated thriller.

    I saw the director's cut, so I don't know what scenes were missing from the original. 8 out of 10.
